Recipe Tips

To ensure that the rice is fluffy and not sticky, use a fork to fluff it after cooking. Also, make sure to let the rice sit for a few minutes before serving to allow it to absorb any extra liquid. Finally, don't be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your liking. If you prefer more spice, add more chili powder or cumin. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of spices used.
