Lime Rice

I love how easy it is to make this zesty recipe. It is a GREAT addition to tacos or burritos. Lime rice can also be served with any cuisine as a side dish with your choice of protein and veggies. The lime, cream and cilantro is a beautiful combo to bring plain rice to life. If you are not a fan of cilantro, you can substitute your choice of fresh herbs (chives, mint, parsley, basil, etc). The idea is to have a bright, fresh and zesty rice dish to add flavors to any meal.

Try it in a burrito with my chipotle black beans!
