That's not even close to anything Mexican, not with all that milk and
Spinach leaves... maybe you meant Spanish leaves.

Just so happens I'm making REAL Mexican rice today...
First in a deep pan (braiser) brown three pounds pork chops, and set
aside. In the same pan saute a big diced onion, six large cloves
minced garlic, add diced green bell peppers and/or anchos, 2 cans
black beans, two generous (D) cups Canilla rice, a tbls Penzys Adobo,
3 packets Goya Sazon con culantro y achiote, 1 packet Goya chicken
bouilion, 1/4 tsp each black pepper n'msg, two bay leaves, and 3 1/2
cups water, place chops on top... bring to a boil then lower to a bare
simmer and cover, cook 15 minutes, turn off heat but do not lift lid
for a full twenty minutes, than remove chops, gently fluff rice with
fork... serve with chops. Works well with chicken too, or sausage, or
all three... a one pot meal. EArly this morning I browned th chops an
dplce then in teh fridge in a covered dish. Then I sauted the onion,
garlic, and peppers, added the rinsed and drained beans, and place in
fridge in the covered pot. While doing all that I meassure dout th
erice adn dry ingredients in a lage cup. Now for dinner all I need to
is put it all together on the stove, in under and hour we can eat like
mayan kings... if only I had some virgins to sacrifice.
