Yummy! I didn't have all of the ingredients on hand and it still turned out amazing! I didn't have annatto or achiote powder in my pantry (actually never heard of prior to this. I ended up using some leftover tomato/bean and sausage casserole to make up for my lack of tomatoes and green pepper. Will make again!

Fantastic. I snuck red peppers and cajun-seasoned ground pork in there and used a little white wine during the simmering process. I also made a bit more rice than the recipe calls for because my family likes its rice. The spices were heavenly. The pork gave extra seasoning to make up for the extra rice, and the whole thing was a fantastic blend of flavors. Will definitely make again.

This turned out really good! My husband & I loved it. Too spicy for kids, though, even without the peppers.

Yummy. I used saffron with the rice and cooked the veggies seperately and mixed at the end. I had never heard of dirty rice but this recipe had my kids cleaning their plates!

This was outstanding! Not sure what the one reviewer tasted when they said it had no outstanding flavor. I almost didn't try it because of that, boy am I glad I did! It has great flavor and heats up well for leftovers! Definitely will make this again.

I always cook things my own way and use the recipe as a guide. I used instant brown rice this time. Next I make this I'm going to make a taco salad shell to serve it in.

I don't care what you name it, it's awesome. I used saffron instead of annatto, and some dried cilantro instead of fresh, as well as brown instead of white rice... but this is a wonderful recipe and needs NO improvement as far as I am concerned. Wonderful!
