Chipotle Copycat Lime Rice Recipe

By mollydahma

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter
• 2 teaspoons fresh cilantro
• 2/3 cup white basmati rice
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 lime

Preparation

Step 1

1In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil or butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted.

2Add rice and lime juice, stir for 1 minute.

3Add water and salt, bring to a full rolling boil.(Some people have had success with 1 cup of water, but when I've made it with 2 it worked for me).

4At boiling, cover, turn down to simmer over low heat until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes.

5Add in the cilantro and fluff rice with a fork.
