Ben's Original Ready Rice Spicy Mexican

Truly the easiest way to make Spicy Mexican Rice, it takes 90 seconds in the microwave. Tastes great.

I love hot things, like Carolina reaper level hot. So this isn't HOT to me. But it has a great flavor, and I love it with my jalapeno pepper sausages. That's the best thing about these packages. Quick to make, easy to add to other dishes to flesh them out. Works awesome for when I skillet some diced up chicken breasts with various vegetables.

Taste really good

Great with any meats

easy fast meal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Ben's ready rice is a weeknight dinner's dream! It is perfectly seasoned and ready-package to table- in 2 minutes! The texture of this rice is comparable to rice that would normally take 25-35 minutes to cook. I personally feel it is easier to cook than regular rice as other rice can easily get soggy and sticky if you don't use the correct ratio of rice and water or don't time it perfectly. With this rice, no thinking is involved- just set it to 90 seconds and you're done! You also don't have to worry about additional ingredients needed to achieve the flavor this rice does. In 90 seconds with no additional expenses, thinking, and time on other ingredients, you have delicious rice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flavor of this rice was unexpected. It has some sweet underlying notes like cinnamon which threw me off guard because I was expecting more tomato and onion flavors. Definitely wouldn't hold its own as a stand alone dish but I guess the purpose of it is a side dish. It definitely needs some additional flavor such as hot sauce, onions or garlic. Would make a good addition to a meal that already has a shining main course and side (like the one pictured). Great easy packaging. Easy to heat up. Works in a pinch when you need a side dish to a specific style of meals. Wouldn't count on this alone to blow any minds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made this for my husband who loves spicy Mexican food. He said it had flavor, but it was fairly bland. It wasn't spicy but had the “flavor” of spice. He added it to some bean and cheese burritos and said it was a nice additive and very filling.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quick cooking time and easy to use! Would rate the heat as a 2.5/5 at most which is good if you aren't really into spice or have older kiddos who like some spice. The texture of Ben's rice is not my favorite but it is great for meals in a pinch. Packaging is easy to use and handle after heating. Wouldn't repurchase though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quick and easy side in 90 minutes (in the microwave) and you can make it on the stove top as well. Smells more flavorful then it tastes. Flavor hits as soon as it touches your taste buds, but sadly disappears just as fast. Doesn't really have any flavor once chewed. I was a bit disappointed there were no jalapeños or peppers in the rice. Texture was a bit tough, like rice when it's not fully cooked. BPA free pouch.
