Chipotle CopyCat Cilantro Lime Rice 🌿 🍈 🍚
For my fellow Chipotle fans.. 🌿 🍈 🍚
In just 30 minutes you can have those same fresh cilantro & lime flavors cooked up and ready to enjoy!
The one thing you MUST do though? Rinse your rice well in order to get those fluffy grains!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup long grain white or basmati rice
1 ¾ cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons lime juice, from 1 lime
¼-1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves (I use closer to 1/2 cup!)
Add water to a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling add rice, 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the ingredients back to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender. Allow to sit, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork and mix in the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and ½ cup cilantro. Set aside until ready to serve.
