We call it very Mexican because despite being a good part of our diet and accompanying traditional dishes, rice is not actually native to our country.

However, we still have it in our hearts (and stomachs) as one of our favorite basics, since in addition to accompanying things as delicious as stuffed chilies, mole or the stews that we eat daily, it is enough to remember the taste, aroma and texture of a bowl of rice pudding to feel comforted.
