Arroz rojo is a popular dish in Mexican cuisine, typically made with long grain rice and fresh tomato juice to give it a beautiful red color. It is also known as "arroz rojo" or red rice. The dish can also be made with green rice, which is infused with earthy and herby flavors. Other versions of the dish include a savory tomato-flavored rice with garlic and jalapeño, and a quintessential Puerto Rican dish called "arroz con gandules." The dish, like many other Mexican dishes, has roots in Spanish colonization and is easy to make with simple ingredients.
