All you need is five simple ingredients!

5-Ingredient Vegan Spanish Rice - A quick and easy vegan Spanish rice. Perfect on the side with tacos, as filling for enchiladas and burritos, or a hearty addition to your taco salad.

Ingredients for 5-Ingredient Vegan Spanish Rice:

  • vegan butter
  • yellow onion
  • long-grain white rice
  • vegan chicken-style broth – I use Better Than Bouillon No-Chicken Base 
  • chunky tomato-based salsa

How to make 5-Ingredient Vegan Spanish Rice:

To a large skillet over medium heat, add butter. When butter is hot, add onions.
 
Cook until tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
 
Add rice into the skillet and stir to coat with butter and onions.
 
When the rice begins to brown, add vegan chicken-style broth and salsa.
 
Bring just to a boil then reduce heat to low.
 
Cover and simmer 20 minutes, until rice is cooked and liquid has been absorbed.
 
Serve hot.
 
Cheers!
Notes:

This rice is perfect on the side with tacos, as filling for enchiladas and burritos, or as a hearty addition to your taco salad.

The recipe itself is quite simple but the key to greatness lies in the salsa selection.

The fresher and chunkier the salsa, and the bolder the flavor, the better the rice will turn out.

You can always make your own salsa if that’s your thing, but that’s obviously going to add to the prep time.

For that reason, I like to go the semi-homemade route here and pick up fresh salsa from the supermarket produce section.
