Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 lime, juiced
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
3 cups water
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, softened
3 cups uncooked instant rice

Steps:

  • Blend the onion, green chiles, garlic, and lime juice together in a food processor until smooth; add the cilantro and pulse until the cilantro is finely chopped into the mixture.

I would not recommend this recipe. There are much better cilantro lime rice recipes out there.

This recipe was a waste of time. The rice was dry and tasteless.

I followed the recipe exactly and my rice turned out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This rice is a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needs more salt and pepper.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but I still enjoyed this recipe. The lime flavor really shines through.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I usually make a big batch of rice on the weekend and then use it to make this dish during the week.

I added some chopped jalapenos to this recipe for a little extra spice. It was delicious!

I've tried many cilantro lime rice recipes, but this one is by far the best. The measurements are perfect and the rice comes out perfectly fluffy every time.
