Mexican Rice

Cultural Context

Mexican rice, also known as Spanish rice, is a staple side dish in Mexican cuisine, often served alongside beans, meats, and salsas. Its vibrant color and flavor come from the use of tomatoes and spices, making it a popular accompaniment to many meals. The dish has roots in traditional Mexican cooking, influenced by Spanish culinary practices, and is commonly found in households and restaurants across Mexico and beyond.

1

Cut the sweet potato into ½ inch dice and finely chop the green onions (green + light green parts).

2

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sweet potato. Toss to coat, then cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften.

3

Add the green onions and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

4

Once the potatoes are tender, add the chorizo. Cook for 2 minutes or until cooked through.

5

Add the maple syrup and cinnamon. Stir to combine.

6

Make two wells in the hash and crack an egg into each. Cook the eggs to your liking - we cover our skillet with a lid for about 2 minutes to make sunny side up eggs.
