How Do You Make Cilantro Lime Rice?
Make cilantro lime rice like that found at Chipotle Restaurant. This recipe shows you how to make a knock off version of the rice found at Chipotle Restaurant. I love dining at Chipotle, however this rice saves you money, is easy, versatile,tasty and can be eaten with several different types of food. Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a 2 quart saucepan (or equivalent). Wash 2 cups of rice with a lot of water. Add the rice to the olive oil in the pan and cook on medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes while stirring to prevent burning. Add 3 cups of water and salt(to taste), cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low-medium when boiling (just enough heat to keep the rice boiling). Cook covered for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and all the water is absorbed. Do not remove the lid to check on it while cooking. Fluff rice with a fork or serving spoon. Add the juice of 1/2 to one lime and mix well. Chop cilantro from one bunch. Add chopped cilantro to the rice and mix well. Taste
