Mexican Rice-Gluten and Dairy Free

 This is an old family recipe, one I grew up with and have always loved. It is simple to make and it is always a huge hit with kids.  

I love it even more now, since the only change I had to make with our new way of eating was to leave out the cheese.  

Awesome! 

We were low on veggie toppings this day. No olives even!
