For Christmas I received a Blackstone Griddle.  It is the most used gift that I have ever received. I cook everything on it, from Japanese steakhouse fried rice to smash burgers. We love fried rice so much that I decided to come up with a recipe to go along with some Fajitas.  I combined some tomato sauce, chiles and seasonings to make some of the most delicious fried rice that I have ever had.  It is a huge hit at our house!

Mexican Fried Rice

Preheat a griddle, large frying pan or wok over high heat.

Add the oil.  When the oil starts to shimmer, add the cooked rice.

Cook for a minute or two.  Then add the tomato sauce and green chiles.

Continue to cook and then add the fajita seasoning, salt and pepper.

Cook until the rice starts to crisp up and then serve.

This was a huge hit at our house.
