I don't know about you, but rice is a staple in my diet. Jasmine, basmati, brown...you name it I eat it.
But sometimes you need to spice up your rice - make it interesting. And one of the easiest and tastiest ways to do that is with this Chipotle Corn Rice.
You get a slightly smoky/spicy flavor from the chipotles and a little bit of crunch and color from the corn.
It only takes an extra minute to jazz up your plain rice and it adds a ton of flavor to your plate.
This is the perfect addition to tacos, burritos or a Mexican Buddha Bowl - one of my all time favorites!
