Cilantro Lime Rice
Talk about a light, fresh side dish. Fresh cilantro, lime zest and lime juice make this an amazing accompaniment to your summertime dinner – especially if you’re grilling. I served this with my Honey-Lime Chicken Skewers and it was the perfect addition!
I used 5-minute rice so this dish was done in no time. Keep this recipe to use in burritos or as a burrito bowl, a la Chipotle (how much do we LOVE Chipotle?). You may want to add more lime juice after the rice has been cooked (and when you add the cilantro). I know I wanted a stronger lime flavor, so I added the juice of a second lime, but do so according to your taste.
