Easy Cilantro Lime Rice

This Cilantro Lime Brown Rice recipe is a tasty and aromatic side dish.

Gather your ingredients and let's get cooking!

First, start by cooking the rice. You can use the package instructions. Meanwhile, while the rice is cooking, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, and sea salt.

Then, stir in the minced garlic and cilantro. Let the garlic soften in the juice while the rice finishes cooking. This mellows the strong flavor of the garlic.

Next, add the cooked and warm rice to the cilantro-lime mixture and stir well to coat. And that is it! Now you are ready to serve.

Expert tip! Freshness matters a lot in this dish. Use freshly squeezed lime juice and vibrant, crisp cilantro leaves for the best flavor.

Perfect for a filling in burritos or a burrito bowl, in tacos or a taco bowl like this Taco Rice Bowl with Ground Beef.
