This cilantro lime rice is so flavorful and easy to make! All three ingredients are in the actual title, so there’s no funny business or complicated recipes to follow for this one. The fragrant cilantro and tangy lime have some terrific Tex-Mex vibes and taste exactly like what you’d get at Chipotle, Q-Doba, and Cafe Rio. I love a big bowl of this rice and chicken with all the fixings! Additionally, the act of rinsing the rice (but not soaking it) will result in softer and fluffier rice that doesn’t stick together. It is a simple step that makes this easy cilantro lime rice recipe turn out so much better. Please note that if you skip this step, you will still enjoy the recipe, you might just find that the rice sticks together more. My goal is to always give you recipes that help you put a complete dinner on the table with those you love. If that means skipping that step, do it! If you are looking for other recipes to use fresh cilantro, try my Cowboy Caviar, Black Bean Dip, or Chicken Street Tacos. Another great option is to make my Cauliflower Rice, and then add in lime juice and cilantro at the end.
