VEGAN Mexican Fried Rice is the perfect addition to your Taco Tuesday! Warm, savory, slightly spicy-it has all the authentic Mexican flavours to accompany your next dish! From Tacos and burritos, to quesadillas and salads-this is the MUST HAVE Mexican rice to add in or top off!
Place your pan over medium heat and add in your canola oil
While your pan is heating up, dice your onion and mince your garlic
Add the onion and garlic to your pan. Allow it to cook for 5 minutes or so-until the onion starts to brown. I like mine to get pretty brown before I add my rice because it really deepens the flavour of the dish.
Add your rice to the pan and mix-distributing the oil, garlic and onion throughout the mixture. Add your dry spices in and stir again. Now let it sit and do it's thing for 5 minutes or so.
The last step is to add in your hot sauce and mix. I always use sriracha sauce for mine because I like the flavour, but feel free to use whatever hot sauce you like best.
Go ahead and garnish with what you have on hand, and what you prefer. For me that means cilantro, lime, green onion and LOTS of dairy free sour cream, like my Cashew Sour Cream, or Tofutti brand.
This vegan recipe is super easy to throw together. We almost always use this inside our black bean burritos or inside our re-fried bean quesadillas.
My Avocado mango salsa is the perfect match for this rice!
