Add the white rice to the pot and stir until it’s well combined with the other ingredients.

5th Step

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring that the rice is fully submerged in the liquid.

6th Step

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7th Step

Once the rice is fully cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the casserole and cover with the lid again. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.

Garnish the One Pot Mexican Rice Casserole with chopped fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, and sliced jalapenos (if you want an extra kick). Serve with optional sides like sour cream and lime wedges for an authentic Mexican dining experience.
