Vegan Mexican Tomato Rice
I eat a lot of rice, and this vegan Mexican tomato rice is one of my favorites! There are so many different ways to cook rice, but I never get tired of this delicious recipe!
I often eat brown rice as it is a complete carb, though I love white rice too, and some dishes like Thai stews or Indian curries beg for white rice sides. This recipe is another perfect way to cook rice, great for meal preps or as a side for any Mexican dish. Try it with my vegan refried kidney beans! I add a chopped tomato at the end of cooking as I love the texture.
