Moros y Cristianos and tough tortillas

Well, I might have to look into Cuban cuisine. I just made a feeble attempt at congri, mainly because most of the ingredients were lying around. After a few tweaks it should be pretty good next time; I think I'll whip up a pot of beans and then use the bean liquid instead of plain old water to cook the rice.

My recaito was from a jar, a very old jar, but I guess that MSG keeps everything fresh. Or dead. I've found some promising freezable recipes if only I could find culantro and ajicitos in the DFW area. I suppose Central Market is my best bet, but I've never looked for that stuff there. Any ideas of an outlet west of Miami?
