What We are Eating - Sour Cream Rice




Yes, I did!  I made something new.  Just last night we had Tacos (Fish Tacos actually) and I wanted something new to serve with dinner.  I found this Mexican Sour Cream Rice dish and it was good.  Even my mom liked it!  It's pretty mild so it doesn't overtake the main dish.  I like it because it is not tomato based like so many Mexican Rice dishes!  (I did not use cilantro - yuck!)
