Mexican fried rice - Cook until golden brown, stirring frequently. Heat over medium heat until hot. It will fry up better in the pan, trust me. Stir in onions and cook until tender. Stir in tomato sauce and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Mexican rice needs to be fried in oil and browned BEFORE you add the chicken broth and tomato sauce. As a result, the rice really absorbs the flavors yet has the perfect consistency. Thank you and good luck
