Grilled Pollo Tapatio With Refried Beans & Salsa Rice

Morning fellas and non fellas. Was in the mood for Mexican food yesterday. We aren't eating out still. Wanted something different than tacos or fajitas so landed on these. Started the day off making up a batch of @tx smoker salsa. Not many pics but he has a great thread on it Roma's and purple...

There are so many versions of this. However, the common element among them is the achiote seed. You can get them whole or ground. If you get them whole, simmer a pack of them on low heat in about a half cup of olive oil. After about 5-10 min of simmer, the oil will turn cherry red. Remove from fire and add about a tablespoon of the oil to your pot just as you're adding the rice. That cherry red oil gives the rice its yellow color during the cook.

Here are a few I learned while living with one of my best friends and his family, a Mexican family.

The first is Arroz Mexicana, it is the classic Mexican/Dpanish rice.
The rest are as homemade authentic as it gets too.
Arroz Mexicana aka Mexican Rice
Arroz Negro / Black Rice
Confetti Rice / Green Rice / Garden Rice

I've been a cigarette smoker since '78. With my taste buds being basically shot. I learned long ago that it doesn't pay to put much to put effort into sides and concentrate on the main course. I go the Rice-a-Roni route for rice. Sorry not much help.
