Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice (Copycat) image

Learn the secrets to making Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice in the comfort of your own kitchen. This copycat recipe starts with getting the right type of rice and cooking it in a non-traditional way. This rice is soft and fluffy with just the right amount of chew and no stickiness.

Provided by Meggan Hill

Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups basmati rice (unrinsed, or any long-grain white rice, rinsed (see notes))
1 bay leaf
Salt
teaspoon olive oil (or rice bran oil, optional)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (minced (or omit or sub parsley))
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1-2 limes)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1-2 lemons)

Steps:

  • Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add rice, bay leaf, and salt to taste (I like 2 teaspoons). Stir and return to a boil. Boil uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes (for me it's always 12, but some readers have reported mushy rice after 12 minutes, so keep an eye on yours).
  • Remove bay leaf. Using a fine mesh strainer, drain rice and rinse with hot water. Pour into a large bowl.
  • Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt (I like an additional 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
  • Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add rice, bay leaf, oil if using, and salt to taste (I like 2 teaspoons). Stir and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaf. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt (I like an additional 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
  • Add rinsed rice (see notes), water (according to manufacturer's instructions, see notes), bay leaf, salt (I like 1 teaspoon), and oil if using. Close rice cooker, plug in, and turn on. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • When the rice is finished, remove bay leaf. Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Add more salt to taste (I like 1/4 teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
  • Follow the instructions above using the following times: 40 minutes for Basmati on the stove top, 45 minutes for long-grain on the stove top, and 60 - 70 minutes for a rice cooker (or according to manufacturer's instructions). 2 cups brown rice makes 16 servings, 1/2 cup each (higher yield than white rice).

Serve simple, make-ahead dishes and be sure to tell everyone it's BYOB. This smoky, savory chili gets more delicious the longer it cooks; the bright and zesty Mexican tabbouleh makes a perfect side dish, but it's even better paired with the chili.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Olive oil, for browning the meat
2 pounds chuck or sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 pound ground sirloin
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 12-ounce bottle pale ale or IPA
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
One 16-ounce can refried beans
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped, plus more sauce from the can
3 cloves garlic, put through a press or minced
Mexican Brown Rice Tabbouleh, recipe follows
2 cups brown rice
Juice of 2 limes
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, put through a press or minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped mint
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over high heat. Working in 2 batches, sear the cubed meat, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned. Transfer the meat to a large bowl and add more oil to the pan between batches if needed.
  • Add a little more oil to the pot. Sear the ground sirloin over high heat, stirring and breaking up chunks with a wooden spoon, until browned. Transfer to the bowl with the cubed meat.
  • Return all the meat to the pot and add the cumin and salt and pepper. Stir for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the ale, tomatoes, refried beans, chipotle peppers and garlic. Season with another few pinches of salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, at least 1 hour. Keep tasting and seasoning with salt, pepper and more adobo sauce from the chipotles. Serve with Mexican Brown Rice Tabbouleh.
  • Combine the rice with 4 cups of room-temperature water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat so the water just simmers, cover the pot, and cook until the water is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the lime juice, red onion, oil, garlic and some salt and pepper. Add the bell pepper, all but 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, and the mint to the rice; drizzle with the red onion mixture and toss to combine. Add more salt, black pepper and lime juice to taste. Garnish with the reserved 1 tablespoon cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

This is a copycat recipe I found for this amazing rice, it works perfectly with a nice savory pulled pork that I use for making burritos. But it really is good enough to have on it's own. *edit* I will have to revisit this recipe soon and come up with more precise measurements and possibly using more generic rice.

Tips for Making Chipotle Chili with Rice

  • Choose the right beans. Pinto beans are a classic choice for chili, but you can also use black beans, kidney beans, or a mix of beans.
  • Soak the beans overnight. This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
  • Don't skimp on the spices. Chili is all about flavor, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount of spices.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh vegetables will give your chili a brighter flavor.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. This will help to develop the flavors and thicken the chili.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion

Chipotle chili with rice is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold night. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans and vegetables. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
