CHIPOTLE COPYCAT LIME RICE RECIPE



Chipotle Copycat Lime Rice Recipe image

This is a copycat recipe I found for this amazing rice, it works perfectly with a nice savory pulled pork that I use for making burritos. But it really is good enough to have on it's own. *edit* I will have to revisit this recipe soon and come up with more precise measurements and possibly using more generic rice.
