This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lime juice. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the rice was cooked perfectly.

So good! I used brown rice instead of white rice, and it turned out great. The lime and cilantro really brighten up the flavor of the rice.
