Mexican rice calories and nutrition facts
Mexican rice: 149 kcal per 100 g, protein 2.4 g, fat 4.3 g, carbs 24.1 g. Typical serving (200 g): 297 kcal.
Also called arroz rojo, Mexican rice is long-grain rice toasted in oil, then simmered with tomato, onion, garlic and broth until fluffy and orange-red. It’s the standard side next to refried beans on combo plates, and a 200 g scoop has about 300 kcal. Toasting the rice in more oil adds calories, so restaurant versions often run richer than homemade.
