This should almost be called "instant Mexican rice" since it's ready in mere minutes! It's made with instant rice, salsa, chicken broth, and cheese.

I've been making this rice for years and it's always a hit. One of the few recipes I've taken the time to write down so that I can always find it.

If you need a quick and easy rice side dish this recipe is ideal. You can control the heat level by using mild or hot salsa.
