Ingredients
For this Mexican rice with corn recipe you only need 5 ingredients.
The chicken bouillon gives the perfect amount of seasoning to this side dish, no need to add anything else.
The prep time for this side dish is just less then 4 minutes.
- white rice - You can use any grain rice of your preference.(log rice,etc) you can use brown rice as well. Just follow the instructions that they provide.
- chicken bouillon - I prefer the granules ones because is easy to mix with the rice, the cubes sometimes it ended up like small pieces all over the rice.I highly recommed to use the granules over the stock just because the flavor is stronger.
- sour cream - you could use greek yogurt instead, this is a mayor ingredient that you can not leave out.
- corn - I like to use sweet corn for this recipe. You can use canned corn,fresh or frozen corn. if you are using fresh or frozen the equivalent of a can is 1 cup and ½.
- butter - You can use either one: salted butter, unsalted butter or margarine. If you have none of these, you can use oil instead. I prefer olive oil to give a little more flavor.
See recipe card for quantities.

It so important that the rice is not over cook.
