Thanks so much for the responses, I did realise before I posted that there are hundreds (if not thousands) of mexican rice dishes out there. God knows Ive read about 50 recipes before I decided to come back here and ask.
Thanks also for the recipe suggestion. My spanish is weak at best but my girlfriend speaks it fluently so Im sure she will be able to walk me through the directions. I'll give it a try and come back to tell you if its the one I was thinking of or not. Either way Im sure I will love it. Ive never met an authentic mexican food I didnt like
thanks again,
Jon
