Copycat Restaurant Style Mexican Rice

This is the best Mexican rice recipe.  Reminds me of the Baja Style I used to get in Southern California.

The key is to toast your rice in the pan before adding spices and cooking liquid.

This is so delicious that I'm planning dinners based on what goes well with this rice!
