Vegetarian Mexican Fried Rice Recipe - Indian Restaurant style

Mexican Fried Rice is a spicy rice-based dish prepared by tossing the rice with boiled Kidney Beans, Fresh Vegetables like onion, capsicum, carrot, french beans, Corn, Tomato puree, and Mexican Seasoning Ingredients like cumin powder, pepper powder, and salt. Then we add a few splashes of lime juice over the dish and garnish it with few chopped coriander leaves. 

Mexican Fried Rice is similar to our Indian Vegetable pulao recipe. This recipe is vegan and vegetarian.

Pre preparation:

You need to soak the rajma/kidney beans overnight and pressure cook until they are soft. Leftover boiled kidney beans or tinned kidney beans will work too.

Tips and Suggestions:

  • You can replace the olive oil with vegetable oil.
  • For this dish, I have used Long grain Basmati-Rice because they are fragrant. But you can use any rice available at your home. 
  • You can even use leftover rice to prepare this dish quickly.
  • In Mexican Cuisine, Kidney/Pinto Beans, Corn, Tomato, Onion, Bell Peppers, Avocado, and Jalapeno are its Integral part. So, try not to skip any of them in any Mexican dish preparation.

  • You can use this Mexican fried rice as a filling for your burritos.
  • Pair it with some Nacho Chips, Tomato Salsa, Guacamole, or Sour Cream for a delicious combo.
