Introduce the recipe for Mexican rice, stating that it will be made in two ways: one-pot and using leftover rice.

Explain that the one-pot method takes about 10-15 minutes and does not require pre-cooking the rice.

Demonstrate that the one-pot meal is easy and everything can be cooked in one pot without needing to cool the rice beforehand.

Mention that the rice can be soaked for 15-20 minutes before cooking to enhance flavor.

Serve the Mexican rice with salsa, cheese, and nachos, and suggest adding guacamole and sour cream as toppings.

Transition to explaining how to make Mexican rice with leftover or pre-cooked rice, noting that it's similar to the first method but quicker.

Emphasize that using leftover rice can save time and that this version is also effective if you need to drain the rice without soaking it.
