Cilantro and Lime Rice

For some reason I want Mexican food. Last week we picked up fresh flour tortillas from Don Pablo's (did you know you can buy a dozen for $2.50?). Anyway, we had the best tortillas EVER. Now I am making this delicious Pork Carnitas this week but was looking for a yummy side dish. Then I remembered the rice at Chipotle and Quedoba's. Cilantro and Lime ... oh yeah! So, here's the recipe that I found on line. Let me know what you think (oh and the Pork Carnitas is coming tomorrow).


Cilantro and Lime Rice Makes 4 servings (1/4 c. each)

1 T. butter
2 t. fresh cilantro
1 c. Basmati Rice
1 c. water
1/2 t. salt
1 fresh lime, juiced

1. Heat butter in a 2 quart heavy saucepan, over low heat until butter is melted. Add rice, salt and water. Bring to a full boil. At boiling, turn heat to low and cover with lid. Cook until rice is tender and water is all absorbed, about 25 minutes.
2. Add cilantro and lime juice. Fluff rice with fork before serving.
