Chipotle's Cilantro Lime Rice

Chipotle is a weeknight staple for me after a long deadlift session. However... those $8 bowls add up! I wanted to make my own rice bowl at home, and after experimenting, I've made my own copy-cat version of Chipotle's Cilantro Lime Rice.

It turns out SO fluffy every time and has a great freshness from the cilantro and zing from the lime flavoring. Enjoy 💚
