Skinny Cilantro-Lime Rice

Here is another recipe inspired by the awesomeness that is Chipotle.  I have also posted a recipe for making a complete mock-Chipotle burrito at home, and have separate recipes for cilantro-corn salsa and Barbacoa beef.  Enjoy this rice in a burrito, as a side dish, and with any Mexican-flavored fare.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Extra Long Grain Rice or Basmati Rice
2 Cups Water
1 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Juice of 1/2 Lime (1 Tbsp Lime Juice)
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
3 Tbsp. Cilantro, fresh and chopped

Directions:
1.  In a large saucepan, combine rice, water, and oil.  Bring to a boil until half of the water is evaporated
2.  Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.  Turn off heat and let sit, covered for 5 more minutes.
3.  In a medium bowl, combine lime salt, cilantro, and rice and stir until well-combined.

Serve and enjoy.
