I made this rice and her chicken flautas last night - both were a hit. The only thing I would do differently was buy a black plantain, mine we're as sweet as they should've been but still good.
I was totally entertained by Patricia...she was adorable and knows what she doing.

I am from El Salvador. Plantains are a staple there. And never in my life have I had plantains without sour cream. In fact it is not a meal if sour cream is not present. We also like our fried plantains with sour cream, queso fresco, and refried beans.

My mother was Mexican and we grew up having this dish. When we couldn't find plantains she would just slice bananas on top of the cooked rice, sometimes with a spicy mole sauce on the side instead of sour cream.
This dish was prepared by a very adept Mexican chef who knows her stuff. No research necessary, Margarita!

I am half Cuban so the spanish side of my family definitely knows good rice. This is a great basic rice recipe..to go with something else. The reason I didn't give it five stars because by itself, it's a little boring. But, since in spanish cooking it will mostly will be going with something else, this is a very nice rice with a good, simple flavor that will complement other dishes wonderfully.

The rice was great. The flavor was fantastic. However, I thought there was too much oil. When I remake it, I will only use 1 tbsp of corn oil. Other than that, great! It was a pleasure watching Patricia on TV.

This recipe has nothing to do with Mexican cuisine and I have never seen plantains served with sour cream. I am sorry, but I am Cuban born and have a Mexican son-in-law and we know what our cuisines are like. Please do more research on your recipes next time.

We love the rice but are not fans of the plantains so we omit them.
This dish is made once a week in my house.

The rice was great with the chicken dish she paired it up with. But I also make it with other mexican dishes and goes very well too. It always comes out delishious. I do add more salt and parsley. The lime juice in this really gives it its unique flavor.

This rice was so fluffy & moist! The celery infusion really gives this simple dish an unexpected great flavor boost. I could've eaten the whole pot by myself as a meal. Yum!
