Sazon Rice

:('s Note:

Goes great with Mexican food. I can't remember where I picked this recipe up, but originally I found it on the internet. Unfortunately, I didn't have the url on the printout I had laying around. Originally it called for 1 packet of Sazon seasoning, but I used dry Sazon instead. If you don't have that, you might try using some Mexican seasoning blend with perhaps a little bit of annato.

I love this rice, but it is a bit bland so I add 1 tablespoon of Sofrito, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and a little cumin. I can't believe that no one has rated this yet. I have been making this for a couple of years now, it was about time I rated it.
