Arroz Negro - Black rice is from Oaxaca (pronouced Wah-AH-cah) and is one of Mexico’s states in southern part of the country. Black beans are the predominant bean and the excess liquid produced when it is slow cooked for many hours (as we do here) is usesd as the broth when making this rice.

Arroz Amarillo - Yellow rice gets it distinctive color and flavor from achiote the seed from the annatto tree. We made a great batch of this flavorful and spicy rice and thought we would offer it as an a la carte side or you can substitute it for Mexican rice.
