I married a Puerto Rican and Arroz con Pollo is his favorite dish- so that tipped me off but I was pretty much sure of it when you said habichuelas instead of frijoles.
I want some damned tostones (sp?)- DH doesn't cook PR food and his mom hasn't made anything the last several times we've seen her. And I'll take beans no matter what people call them! ;-)
Don't they sell green plantains in AZ? Slice them on an angle, give them a little squish and fry in your oil of choice. Salt, garlic and voila! TOSTONES!

Oh shiit... Is my brown showing?
Yeah, I am. For the most part, anyway.
So you, my dear are Puerto Rican by marriage. Arroz con Pollo kicks @ss. ::sigh:: Now what I really want is some alcapurria to go with my rice.
Habichuelas = carribean latinos
Frijoles = South American latinos
