I Love Cilantro Lime Rice
It’s true. I love it. I could eat cilantro lime rice by itself for lunch, dinner and repeat every day. I absolutely love the zesty taste of the lime, mixed in with the fluffy salty basmati rice! Cilantro Lime rice makes the perfect add-in or side dish for chicken fajitas, baked black bean tacos, crockpot chicken chipotle tacos, barley tacos, your favorite tacos, chicken fajitas, shrimp fajitas, or whatever else you want to serve it with.
Tips for Fluffy Cilantro Lime Rice
Use long grain basmati rice. Quickly sauté the rice in vegetable oil before you boil it, this will keep the rice crisp and prevent it from getting too soft. Fresh lime is always preferred, but a bottle of lime juice works too.
