CILANTRO-LIME RICE

Cilantro-Lime Rice image

My family's favorite Mexican restaurant serves a similar rice as a side dish. I threw this together one night when I was making fajitas, and everyone loved it! It's such an easy side dish and pairs well with kabobs on the grill, too. -Robin Baskette, Lexington, Kentucky
