Tex-Mex Fried Rice

This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.

I saw this version of a Tex-Mex version of fried rice a few weeks ago on The Pioneer Woman and I had to give it a try. Fried rice is a family favorite and so is Mexican, so a Tex-Mex Fried Rice sounded right up our alley. Now, when I made it, I included the jalapeno but was sure to include no seeds. Everyone was good with the about of spice with exception to my husband. He can’t tolerate much spice and said this was too spicy for him. Next time, I will just leave it out and we should be good. This is super flavorful and a hit with the family. There is no eggs in this fried rice but we were all good with that. Tex-Mex Fried Rice | realmomkitchen.com
