This recipe was a gem from Pinterest! It tastes so much like Chipotle's cilantro rice, Dr. J and I couldn't tell the difference. We like to use it as a dinner side or as part of the Barbacoa Bowl we make on our Chipotle-themed dinner nights. ChefInYou did an outstanding job with this one, and earned a new fan!
Cilantro Rice (Chipotle-style)
(Recipe from: ChefInYou)
What's In It?
-1 cup Basmati or any other long grained rice, rinsed lightly in cold water
-1 tsp oil (for that authentic taste use 1 tbsp butter)
-juice of 1-2 small limes
-1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
-about 3 tbsp cilantro (we like cilantro so I tend to use more)
-salt to taste
-2 cups water
How Do I Make It?
Heat a skillet on low heat and add the rice, sugar, and butter/oil. Once the rice is fully coated, add in the lime juice. Stir.
Add water and salt. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes. Check to make sure that the rice has absorbed all of the water. Once absorbed, add cilantro and stir. Add more lime juice to taste.
