Chef's notes
Cilantro lime rice is a great side dish to any Mexican meal. We often serve it with enchiladas, burritos, tostadas, fajitas, and tacos.
It is simple to make and pairs nicely with all Mexican food. It is also perfect for making burrito bowls.
You can freeze rice! If there are leftovers, freeze some for later use.
If you like Chipotle’s cilantro lime rice, you will love this recipe because it is easy to make at home and possibly even better!
