Make your Spanish rice with a spicy kick by adding some diced jalapeno peppers with onions and tomatoes. Spice level can be adjusted with older or younger jalapenos. Older jalapenos are much spicier than young jalapenos. You can also leave jalapeno seeds in for more spice.  You can also add corn and black beans when adding onions and tomatoes. Adding corn and beans will be great if making a chicken and Spanish rice bowl. Just add cooked chicken on top of rice and serve with sour cream and guacamole. Try adding other veggies like diced bell peppers at the same time as onions and tomatoes too.  Squeeze some fresh lime juice to cooked rice when mixing in cilantro to add beautiful citrus flavors.
