Cilantro Lime Rice

There is a "casual" Mexican restaurant that offers a cilantro lime rice.

I get it, but honestly, I'm not certain there is much taste to it.

I always have high hopes; zesty, cilantro-y, delicious!

When my girl cherub asked for black beans, rice, and grilled chicken, I was eager to oblige!

She wanted green chili rice.

Honestly, I needed something just a smidge faster to put together than that recipe.

My thoughts took me back to the tasteless cilantro lime rice at the restaurant.

What the heck . . . I'll give it a try!

What's the worst that could happen?

 That it be bland?

Oh well!

I gathered my ingredients and set out to make some rice!

Because all tastes are different, the spices should be to taste.


 

As in your taste!

Cilantro Lime Rice

Warm cooked rice (either instant or long grain; brown or white rice)
3 TBSP fresh cilantro, chopped
3 TBSP oil
1-2 tsp. Tru Lime, garlic, and cilantro seasoning
1-2 "tru lime" crystalized lime packets

While the rice is cooking, in a small bowl, mix the oil, tru lime salt-free seasoning, and tru lime packets together.  Stir in the desired amount of cilantro.  Pour over the cooked, but still warm rice and gently toss to coat.

Serve warm.

I began with 3 cups of cooked, warm rice.  I also use long grain rice.


Found in the spice aisle.  It is a salt-free seasoning.
 



This will be great in the rice . . . and in your water!  It's awesome!
