Authentic Mexican Rice
During college my husband and I spent a semester in Puebla, Mexico for an Internship. We taught workshops to locals in the area that were interested in starting a small business. I have the best memories of our time there.
It was during our second year of marriage, we had no kids, and we spent every single day in Mexico together! It was hard work, but also amazing to spend so much quality time together.
We lived in the cutest little house in downtown Puebla. We didn’t have a car, so we walked everywhere–probably a good thing because it allowed me to eat my heart out without gaining any weight. We also made some really great friends that we still keep in contact with.
The BEST, truly authentic Mexican rice! Super easy to make from home, and a necessary side dish for all of your favorite Mexican recipes.
