Olga's Mexican Rice

Ok, so I learned this recipe from watching a member make food. Some of the portions I know for sure, others we guessed out. Once again, it just better if you watch me make it so you know how to make it too. Oh I have it first in Spanish,  but don't worry, Olga edited the recipe for me to make sure the spanish was correct. I'll post it after in English.
