Cilantro Lime Rice

by Alexis

I love Chipotle!  If you don't know, it is a great burrito place, and I love to go to indulge in fast food.  Fortunately, I have found a great recipe that tastes like their signature rice.  This is a favorite at our house! We have tried to make it with brown rice, but white is better.

Ingredients
1 cup long grain rice (white, basmati or jasmine)
2 cups water
4 tsp canola oil, divided
1 tsp salt
juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp cilantro, chopped
couple dashes of garlic salt

  1. In a small pot at the rice, water, 1 tsp oil and salt.
  2. Boil on high until there is just a little water on top of the rice.
  3. Reduce heat to low and cover for 15 minutes.
  4. Shut off flame and keep covered for 5 more minutes
  5. Just prior to serving, add juice, cilantro and garlic salt.  Mix until blended.
