About

This colorful and fragrant pilaf is another great dish for family get-togethers. Serve it with Fiesta Black Beans and Calabacitas con Elote for a trifecta of side dishes. It goes great with Broiled Fish Tacos with Smoky Salsa Verde and Tilapia al Mojo de Ajo, or it can be used as a flavorful base for veggie bowls or burritos.
