Quick and easy Mesican rice in two to three minutes flat. Uncle Ben's have come up with an excellent range of rices making them the ultimate in convenience food with a great taste. They are so handy and so easy to make that really nothing could be simpler. There are many different flavours in the range which include vegetable Pilau, Basmanti, Egg fried, Thai curry, Chinese style rice, Lemon rosemary and Mexican rice. I have to say that I have tried a lot but the Mexican Rice is my favourite for pure flavour and versatility. For example when I do make Mexican food such as Fajitas the mexican rice is a great side dish and the flavours balance each ...  Read the complete review

Usually when it comes to cooking I am the main cook in our household and generally cook everything from scratch. That includes boiling rice to accompany a meal. Since getting pregnant Mr Lools has provided relief from cooking duties and although this has been mostly successful one conclusion I have come to is that rice is not his speciality.

Being big fans of Mexican food, we eat various Mexican dishes frequently, usually at least one night a week. We enjoy Spanish/Mexican rice as an accompaniment to dishes such as fajitas, taco's, enchilada's etc. Uncle Bens mexican style rice is a quick & easy way to enhance Mexican dishes. As with all the 'Express' rice range, a pouch of rice can be microwaved in just 2 minutes. Simply squeeze the pouch to seperate the rice which tends to clump together, tear open a 2cm vent at the top, & microwave for 2 minutes (based on a 700 watt microwave). The rice can also be heated on the stove, by boiling 30ml of water, adding the rice & covering & ...  Read the complete review

Since discovering the rather tasty Uncle Ben Express rice collection thanks to a special offer in Sainsbury's I've been gradually trying different flavours. Having started with the rather impressive Thai Sweet Chilli, I have now progressed onto the Spicy Mexican flavour. As I've mentioned before I seem to be incapable of cooking rice just right and these flavoured rice are the perfect solution to my inability. Thankfully my new addiction to the various flavours is being helped by Sainsbury's continually having it on special offer with the current one being 5 packs for £5, which is a big improvement on £1.54 per pack. I've become rather addicted to eating these ...  Read the complete review
