Comments
This recipe is a great recipe by itself, as a side, or wrapped up in a burritio! But it did need a little tweaking since we used bouillon cubes. One cube per 1 cup of water was just too strong of a flavor. Made this a few times to fix this, we doubled and tripled the rice and both worked well. Doubling the spices doesn't hurt it either :)
