Cilantro Lime Rice

This rice is our "Chipotle" rice. We make it anytime we make our own Chipotle at home. Its delicious! I am not a fan of cilantro but David piles it on his burrito no matter how much I put in the rice so I put in an amount I can tolerate. If you are a cilantro fan, you may want more cilantro than this recipe calls for. Or if you don't like cilantro and don't have a husband who loves cilantro, maybe you will be luckier than me and be able to eliminate it all together!

Cilantro Lime Rice

Serves 8

-4 cups uncooked Basmati rice

-4 teaspoons canola oil

-1/4 cup lime juice

-1/4 cup cilantro

-1 teaspoon salt

Directions: Sorry rice is the one thing I cannot cook! So use your rice cooker. Make sure you use your rice cooker's measuring cup for the rice as it is different than your standard measuring cup. Add all ingredients, except lime juice, to your rice cooker. Your rice cooker's manual will tell you how much water is needed for 4 cups of rice. Add the amount of water it suggests minus 1/4 cup of lime juice. Your lime juice counts towards your water measurement (i.e., 4 cups water = 3.75 cups water, .25 cups lime juice). Add in your water and lime juice. Close the lid and follow rice cooker instructions.
