Cilantro Lime Rice

We recently paid a visit to Chipotle for the first time; this nationwide chain is somewhat new to our city and very new to our neighborhood. We enjoyed our bowls with carne asada and various toppings; but what I really loved was their signature cilantro lime rice. I found several different copycat recipes online, and picked elements of each to create my own version for my trusty Instant Pot. I’m happy to report it was delicious and easy!

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp dried cilantro OR 2 tbsp minced fresh

Stir together first 5 ingredients in Instant Pot (add cilantro if using dried, otherwise add after cooking). Pressure cook 3 minutes with quick release; fluff and serve or stir in cilantro if using fresh.
