      Oh I make similar dishes, but not exactly the same - does this mean I have a touch of Columbian in me? =) Another dish to save and try as I am sure its delicious.

      This is a dish for me. Very pretty. I love using achiote with rice. I would have to agree with MaryMoh and add some fresh garden peas.

      Is this the cheese I saw at Shop n Stop, hmmm I think I have been wanting to try it, because it said you could simply fry it in pieces? I have to go there and get some ingredients and make this! Yum

      Can I substitute sazon for the achiote? Is it just a color thing or is there a major taste difference?
