Easy Lime Cilantro Rice image

I was inspired to create this recipe after a major retailer stopped carrying a favorite boxed version of cilantro lime rice mix, leaving a hole in my rotation of meals. My version is budget friendly and has a fresher taste and aroma than the boxed version, and I hope others enjoy it.

This rice is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think it needs more flavor. I would probably add some garlic and cumin next time.
