5-Ingredient Vegan Spanish Rice
A quick and easy vegan Spanish rice that you can have on the table in 30 minutes.
All you need is five simple ingredients!
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:
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.
