Recipe Summary Easy Lime Cilantro Rice

I was inspired to create this recipe after a major retailer stopped carrying a favorite boxed version of cilantro lime rice mix, leaving a hole in my rotation of meals. My version is budget friendly and has a fresher taste and aroma than the boxed version, and I hope others enjoy it.

Ingredients | Cilantro Lime Shrimp Tacos Delish

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon chili powder

2 cups water

1 cup basmati rice

½ teaspoon salt

½ (11 ounce) can Mexican-style corn (such as Green Giant® Mexicorn®) (Optional)

Directions

Combine cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, onion powder, parsley, garlic powder, ground cumin, and chili powder in a bowl.

Bring water to a boil over high heat. Stir in rice and salt. Reduce heat and cover; simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in cilantro mixture and Mexican-style corn; simmer over low heat, covered, until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes.

You may process the cilantro lime mixture in a blender; this will make your rice green.

Stir in half of a drained can of Green Giant(R) Mexicorn(R) for added flavor.
