ARROZ CON POLLO with vegetables, Oh what a treat!! TRADITIONAL, very easy and quick. This dish brings back beautiful memories of my childhood, my momma fixed it often and would have it ready for us when we got home from school, she had a pot of pinto beans to serve along with the ARROZ CON POLLO and fresh homemade flour tortillas just like her mom and grandma used to make, the tradition lives on, as I pass it down, such an inexpensive dish with amazing flavor.
