I am here today with another easy dinner solution for you – an easy fried rice with Mexican flavors that comes together in 20 minutes! All thanks to a shortcut from Knorr and their sides! One-pot dinners are very popular these days and I have to say, I love them too! All of the flavors mingle together in one pot and turn into a quick and delicious dinner. Also, I have less dishes to wash. I already have a lot of them so any help here is appreciated! 🙂

This fajita fried rice is so quick to make. You fry the meat, add some veggies, cook it all together, add the rice mix and water and let it all simmer for 10 minutes. That’s it! Seriously, this cannot be any easier! Feel free to use chicken in place of beef or add other veggies. This dish is made for variations.
