Chipotle Style Rice

This recipe for lime cilantro rice is very similar to the rice they serve at Chipotle.  It is also great made with brown rice too.  Just needs to cook a little longer.

What Kind of Rice Should I Use?

Use jasmine or basmati rice. They are more aromatic than plain long grain rice and I prefer the taste.

How to Make Lime Cilantro Rice

It doesn’t get much easier! I think I could make this rice in my sleep I have made it so often.

• Bring water to boil, add rice.
• Add lid and cook until done.
• Fluff rice with fork.

• Add in juice of lime, salt and cilantro.
• Stir to incorporate and fluff with fork

We eat this rice weekly at our house and now that we are empty nesters I freeze the leftovers and it heats up great in the microwave.
