The first recipe in our Chipotle Burrito Bowl Recipe series is cilantro lime rice. Often seen on menus such as Chipotle or Cafe Rio, it’s popular to add as the base of a salad or inside a tortilla with your favorite items.

Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice – Enriched Long Grain White Rice (enriched with Folic Acid, Iron (Ferric Orthophosphate), Niacin, Thiamin Mononitrate), Bay Leaf, Rice Bran Oil, Cilantro, Citrus Juice, Kosher Salt

This is a light and refreshing way to make rice that sounds like it might not be simple but it is. Very simple! {Oh and cheap too!}

We buy bulk rice at our local stores and then I always hit great sales for limes and cilantro so the overall cost for me to make this dish is less than a buck for the entire family.
