MEXICAN FRIED RICE



Mexican Fried Rice image

My husband rarely would eat rice until he tasted this recipe. My Native American great grandmother passed on her recipes to my grandmother, who in turn added, deleted and passed on to my mother, who in turn added, deleted & passed on to me. I never saw any of them ever measure anything, it was always a dash,pinch,palm or handful(s)etc. Every stage was taste tested for preference. The below recipe is my modern version of what was handed down from my great grandmother. *maple flavored bacon is an added surprize (Kids love it). **Best to start with cold cooked rice (left overs?) ***This dish is savory & spicy enough to not include salt & pepper in the ingredients-let each individual salt & paper to taste. ****This was always served with my mother's cracklin corn bread, another great recipe I'll try & share later when I can figure out the measurements! lol
