Step 1

1. Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add rice and next 4 ingredients (rice through salt). Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

2. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro, onions, and juice.

Really good! Made as part of a Cinco de Mayo dinner and it was a nice contrast. Not a wow, but really very good.
