　　This homemade version of a popular Chipotle restaurant menu item livens up plain white rice with lime juice and tons of cilantro. Serve it as a side dish or top with cooked vegetables and salsa to make a quick burrito bowl.

　　

Ingredients

4–6 servings

　　1 cup white jasmine rice

　　1 teaspoon kosher salt

　　3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro

　　2 tablespoons unsalted butter

　　1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

　　

Step 1

Rinse rice several times with cold water until water runs clear. Drain well in a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer rice to a medium pot. Add salt and 1 1/4 cups water, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 18–21 minutes.

　　

Step 2

Remove from heat. Let stand, covered and undisturbed, 10 minutes. Use a fork to fluff, then gently fold in cilantro, butter, and lime juice.
