Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice [0000508]

Ingredients:

1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups water
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder

Instructions:

Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to steam the rice.

While the rice is steaming, mix the fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin powder in a small bowl.

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork, and then pour the cilantro lime mixture over it.

Gently stir the rice to evenly distribute the flavors.

Cover the saucepan again and let it sit for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve your delicious homemade Chipotle-inspired cilantro lime rice as a side dish or as a base for your favorite Mexican-inspired bowl or burrito.
