With the lead-up to the holidays being so busy, I’ll take any chance I can get to slow down and have a sit-down breakfast with my guys. It’s a great way to get some quality time in and send everyone off fueled up and full of good cheer for the day ahead. Recently I decided to shake things up a bit with a south of the border spin on things, and this Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Rice Bowl was a HUGE hit.
The trick to nailing this breakfast rice bowl is using RiceSelect rice, in particular their delicious Texmati variety.
This flavorful, unique hybrid grain features a captivating aroma (many liken the smell to freshly popped popcorn), unexpected texture, and welcoming nutty flavor, making it the perfect rice for reinventing familiar flavors in bold, exciting ways. A long-grain American white rice, Texmati is pleasantly aromatic and made from an agricultural hybridization of long-grain white rice and Basmati rice.
It’s easy to use and great in tons of tasty recipes. Just like basmati rice, it stays firm, fluffy, and separates easily so you can enjoy it on its own, as part of this Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Rice Bowl, or with any other recipe that calls for rice.
When you want to add big, hearty flavor to your table, gather some ingredients and try this Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Rice Bowl.
