on May 05, 2016, Updated Jun 05, 2023 9 Comments My sister makes the most amazing cilantro lime rice that I’ve ever tasted! It is a staple for pairing with Mexican dishes like my chicken enchiladas, flank steak with chimichurri sauce, fish tacos or even with my cilantro lime chicken. Talk about the perfect, flavorful side dish! To make her rice, she uses the method of how our Mom taught us how to cook white rice. She brings chicken stock (you could use broth or water if you like) to a boil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Once the liquid comes to a rolling boil, she stirs in her rice, covers the pot and reduces the temperature. While the rice is busy absorbing the chicken stock, she makes a fresh cilantro lime mixture. Once the rice has fully cooked and is tender, she fluffs it with a fork and stirs in the cilantro lime mixture into her rice. To serve it, she tops it with fresh chopped cilantro and lime zest. Talk about delicious! It is definitely a family favorite!
