Cilantro Lime Rice

We are enjoying our long weekend after a busy Spring break. We were lucky to get plenty of sunshine and go on some beautiful hikes. We even enjoyed a trip to the zoo! We wrapped up the week with some Saturday night burritos, and this cilantro lime rice really makes them special. You can use this rice as a side, in burritos, or mix with black beans. It also goes well with asian food.

Ingredients

(makes 3 cups)

1 cup long-grain rice
2 cups water
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 cup chopped cilantro
4 Tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons of salt

Directions

Heat your olive oil in a pan on medium and put in your rice and garlic. Brown the rice just a bit, it should take about 3 minutes.

Pour in your water and salt, and bring to a boil then simmer. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and continue covering for another 10 minutes.

Mix in your cilantro and lime juice, then taste to see if you need to add more salt.

You can use this for tons of different dishes and if you're in a hurry, just mix with black beans.

Serve and enjoy!
