I have Spanish Rice on the stove as we speak! But it is Knorr Fiesta SIdes Spanish Rice, so it's from a pouch not a box, but still not what you're looking for I guess!

It's yummy though.
Sirloin beef tips in the oven with garlic and worchestershire sauce too....

I put 1 can of tomato paste in the water while the instant rice is boiling, and then when it is cooked add the spices that you would like in the rice. I often use pepper or chili seasoning. I don't know if that is what you meant by spanish rice, but it is a pretty tasty recipe. Especially if you melt a little cheese over the top.

1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup black beans (pre cooked)

Ok..here goes...not really "spanish" since there aren't any veggies added

"Rice a la Taco Night"

Brown 1 cup rice in a little garlic olive oil (1 teaspoon or so) until you can smell it

Add: 2 cups chicken broth from box
2 wooden spoon-fuls taco sauce (red kind, we like Pace or Ortega) to pinken it up
1/2-1 t or so cumin
1/4-1/2 t poultry seasoning

Stir well and then simmer about 20 minutes until done.
