    Notes

    1. This recipe uses the leftover liquid that’s drained from the Mexican chicken recipe. Use as much of the liquid as you have, then add water until you have 2 cups of liquid total.
    2. If you do not have the reserved liquid or you did not make that recipe at all, use all water.
    3. I prefer to add half the salt to the onions while browning in step 2, but you can add it all.
    4. The flavor is somewhere between Mexican rice and Pakistani pulao.
    5. Can be enjoyed as-is, or you can pair it with all the fixings of regular chicken tacos to make a taco rice bowl: fajitas, Mexican chicken, and any sauces.
