This copycat Chipotle brown rice recipe is an upgrade to your conventional (and, let’s face it, plain) side dish of rice at dinner. Brown rice provides a nutritious, fiber-packed alternative to white rice. And the cilantro and lime provide an extra dash of delicious Mexican flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups brown rice
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 30 to 45 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer cooked rice to a large serving bowl and cool slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk together lime juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl; stir into rice. Fold in cilantro.
