Chipotle's Cilantro Lime Rice
Chipotles uses this rice in their bowls and burritos. It''s a great alternative for plain white rice.
"I subbed butter for the oil for a slightly richer taste. Otherwise, excellent. Try parboiled rice for the chef who experienced glue-like rice and be sure not to use too much water. It's essential to let the rice sit after cooking for the full 15 minutes without opening the lid. " - brianoliviaYield: 6 Ready in 45 minutes
