Cooking a side dish for my husband is pretty easy. Pasta or rice and he’s a happy guy. I’m alright with both, but as we all know, having the same thing over and over can get old. Last week I decided to make my husband’s favorite meal from Chipolte. He loves that place and I really enjoy the food as well. Since I was making the beef I wanted to go all of the way and make the rice that they serve as well. I never get it when we’re eating out since I try to limit my carbs as much as possible, but I may have a difficult time saying, “No” after trying it out at home.
The cilantro and lime give the rice a nice sweetness. It adds a simple flavor that makes boring white rice into something you want to gobble down. I wont be saving this rice only for when I make something such as tacos, etc. With a simple ingredient list, this has earned its way into a regular rotation!

In a small heavy pot, add rice, water, 1 tsp oil and salt. Boil on high until most of the water evaporates. When the water just skims the top of the rice, reduce to low and cover about 15 minutes. Shut off flame and keep covered an additional 5 minute.
In a medium bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, rice and remaining oil and toss until completely mixed.

Just had to try this tonight! Used olive oil instead of veg. oil. Turned out great and yummy!
I was confused about one thing though: limes can come in so many sizes…what size do you recommend? Mine was a small lime and didn’t give me a lot of juice.

On average a lime has about 2 tablespoons of juice. You can always adjust to your preferences but most recipes usually average with a medium lime unless otherwise noted. Good call on the olive oil. Glad to hear it still tasted good, I’ll have to give that a try!
