This rice is great as a side dish or added to your favorite taco salad or burrito. Much like you will find in fresh-Mex restaurants.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • ½ bunch cilantro, chopped

  • 3 cups water

  • 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

  • 3 cups uncooked instant rice

Directions

  1. Blend the onion, green chiles, garlic, and lime juice together in a food processor until smooth; add the cilantro and pulse until the cilantro is finely chopped into the mixture.

  2. Bring the water to boil in a saucepan. Stir the cilantro mixture, chicken bouillon granules, salt, butter, and rice into the water and return to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer until the rice has absorbed the liquid entirely, about 20 minutes.
