If you are what you eat, then I should be speaking fluent Spanish soon: I love me some Mexican food, and make it on a regular basis. One of my favorite dishes is this Mexican Rice, because it goes with every other dish you can make. It's full of fresh veggies, and using brown rice, it packs a nutritional punch as well.
