We LOVE Mexican food in our house, and this Spanish rice is the perfect side for your tacos, fajitas, etc!  This Spanish Rice in the crock pot is super easy, and so good. I absolutely love meals I can pop in the crock pot all day and it’s ready when I get home for dinner, especially with life once again becoming busier. I paired this with tacos, and I didn’t use a shell, I just used the rice for a rice bowl, and it was delicious. Give it a try you wont regret it!
