Mexican Fried Rice

Cold leftover rice is best for fried rice skillets, because the grains are more separate and won’t glom together in the pan—it’s a good reason to double the amount of rice next time you cook a batch. To be honest, neither of us were too enamored with the idea of a Mexican-flavoured rice skillet until we tried it. It’s really good. It’s quick. You can toss leftovers into it—bits of chicken, pork, or shrimp, or cooked veg that are too boring to reheat on their own. It’s a meal in a bowl.
