Easy Mexican Rice

This is a super easy recipe and one I used as one of this week's meatless dishes. I don't really like it as a side by itself but I love it as a burrito filler or as a chip dip. Just use it like you would taco meat. I like to put a couple tablespoons in a tortilla with some cheese, sour cream and lettuce. Super Yummy. This recipe also makes a lot so it's great for lunches throughout the week.
