Cilantro Lime Rice

Cilantro Lime Rice is an easy make at home version of a favorite restaurant rice.

We love Chipotle. We discovered it back in 2010. Once we tried it, we loved it. One of the reasons we loved it was that all of our family could eat there.

Between my eating gluten-free and my daughters having food allergies, finding a place we can all eat is hard. Chipotle quickly became a favorite.

However, I like to make at-home versions of food we love. So, I instantly started working on a Chipotle like rice that I could make at home.

I found quite a few recipes, but most of them didn’t even sound close to what Chipotle served, so I went to work on my own version.

What I came up with was a rice we love. It is not quite the same as Chipotle’s, but very close. I think this would work well with any type of Mexican meal.

Now my family can enjoy a Chipotle-style meal at home without spending time or money going out.

We also love this rice with my bacon salmon.

This cilantro lime rice is delicious with so many things. It is a versatile rice recipe that you are sure to love.

This recipe calls for basmati rice. I really think basmati does work best here. It gives it a texture and taste very close to the real thing.

And in case you are wondering, yes, the water to rice ratio is correct for this recipe. It is not the exact ratio you would use for regular rice cooking, but it works in this recipe.
