Mexican Fried Rice Tips:

• Heat Blackstone – Make sure to prepare Blackstone by preheating and add oil. Before adding ingredients always start with a hot griddle.
• Cooking on the Blackstone – The Blackstone grill is hotter than a traditional skillet. So work fast to avoid the griddle from burning. Since you are just heating up the ingredients, it will not take long to heat.
• Use Different Oil –You can easily use any type of oil. Use avocado oil, canola oil or coconut oil instead of the vegetable oil in this recipe. You want to use a high smoke point oil.
• Pre Cooked Rice is Best– This fried rice recipe is best to made with cold leftover rice. Leftover rice is best for this recipe. This is my go-to recipe when I have cooked rice earlier in the week.
• Chopping Vegetables – We recommend to chop your vegetables ahead of time and about the same size. This allows them to cook evenly and about the same time.
