About Restaurant, Mexican, spanish rice
Spanish rice as made in Mexican restaurants is white rice cooked with tomato, onion, garlic, and chicken or vegetable broth.

It functions as a side dish meant to absorb sauces and round out a plate rather than contribute protein or fiber. The tomato and seasonings add flavor but don't change the fundamentally starchy nature of the dish.
