How do you like to make your Mexican rice?

Question

So I've been making mine the way my mom taught me when I was little. But I wanna try out some new ways. It never comes out like restaurant Mexican rice. It's usually very tomato flavored to me. Which I do like. But I want that soft, orange goodness lol. Any tips or recipes? I've already looked up recipes online but they just still taste like mine.

Answer

Here's what I do.
Manteca is your best friend!! Thats where the flavor is
Put manteca in a skillet
Brown rice, comino, garlic powder, black pepper, Goya sazon (2 packets) and a little salt. I brown mine until its a little brown (like 3 mins)
Add 1 small of tomato sauce and water to top the pan. Stir then and only then
Cook uncovered until the rice dries up with very little water in medium heat (15mins) then stir again, add a little more water if its still a little crunchy, lower heat and cook until its to your preference

Answer

1 cup of rice browned and a few slices of onion 
2 cups of water
Bring to a boil 
Add onion powder a few shakes
Cumin powder (teaspoon ish)
And tomato bullion like 2 1/2 table spoons
Simmer for 20 mins 
Learned from my ex’s sister in law and it’s my favorite thing ever lol 😋

Answer

I brown the rice in oil chop up onions and cilantro throw that in. I use about 1/4 cup tomato sauce then fill the rest up with water to equal 2 cups. Add 2 tsp of chicken bouillon, garlic salt, paprika, and pepper. Cook like normal rice after that 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Do you know what restaurants to do make their rice have a bit more of a red color and that signature flavor?? 
Add chili powder. Not too much, but enough to give it that touch. I usually add about 1:4 ratio of the powder and garlic powder.

Answer

Sometimes I blend the onion, tomato and garlic to the browned rice or sauté it all together then add the tomato sauce and bullion 👍🏽
