Mexican Lime and Cilantro Rice

This mexican lime and cilantro rice is used as a filling in the burrito wraps or burrito bowls.
You can make it either with white rice or brown rice. I have used brown rice here.

  • Water - 2 cups
  • Oil - 2 tbsp
  • Onion - 1 small
  • Garlic - 1 clove
  • Cilantro - 1 handful
  • Lime juice - of 1 Lime
  • Salt - to taste

Directions
  • Soak rice in water for 10 minutes, drain and keep aside.
  • Heat the oil in a deep pan or pot. 
  • Add chopped onions and saute till translucent.
  • Add chopped garlic and saute for another minute.
  • Add rice and fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add water and bring it to boil. Then simmer it and let it cook covered till done. Note that brown rice takes longer to cook when compared to white rice.
