THE BEST 5 MINUTE COPYCAT CHIPOTLE LIME RICE
If there is one thing that’s widely loved, it’s Chipotle. I remember when they first launched and I immediately noticed the difference in their product versus what existed at the time. One of my personal favorite things was the cilantro lime rice. There are so many ways to elevate rice and I love this approach. It packs flavor, but isn’t overwhelming to the tastebuds. It’s crisp, fresh and goes with just about anything.Â
There are a myriad of replica recipes, but I love the most seamless. That being said, it made sense to feature a ready made rice option that skips even the process of making rice. It doesn’t get much easier, and it doesn’t compromise anywhere.Â
