Cilantro Lime Rice
This easy, flavorful side dish pairs well with any grilled meat. It’s also a perfect complement to fajitas and tacos!
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 2 tbsp Spanish olive oil
- 1 lime, juiced (or 1 oz bottled lime juice)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Cook your choice of rice according to package. We use Jasmine rice cooked in a rice cooker, but any rice will work for this. Remove cilantro leaves from stem and coarsely chop while rice is cooking.
- When rice has finished cooking, place in a bowl. Drizzle oil and lime juice over the top then stir in cilantro until throughly combined. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- A rice cooker is a great investment if you make a lot of rice. You don't have to get an expensive one to make fluffy rice at home.
- Add a dash of salt when cooking rice if desired.
