Are you a rice lover? We certainly love rice in our family, and Cilantro-Lime Rice is a favorite, especially at Chipotle's. Try my recipe. It's a "Tried and True" family favorite!
My first attempts at making Cilantro-Lime Rice were complete disasters. I read many recipes online and combined a couple of recipes using long grain white rice. Yuk! It came out "too sticky". I tried fresh cilantro, and it didn't look right. One attempt had too much lime juice, and it was so sour that it sort of pulled at your eyes! Do you know what I mean? Of course, the grandkids wouldn't eat it!
I was determined to master this! I tried again, and it was better. The grandkids would finally eat it!
I kept experimenting with ingredients and amounts until I finally came up with this recipe that 2 of my grandsons say is "really close" to Chipotle's rice! They love it! They even like to take the leftovers home for their school lunches. That's good enough for me!
