Green Brown Rice with Corn Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Rice Side Dish Recipes. (Green Brown Rice with Corn Recipe). I did a little twist to traditional green rice (arroz verde) where I used brown rice and added corn to it so it becomes a much more filling side dish. You can just omit the epazote, which is hard to find here (look in Mexican markets).
