    I have made this many times and it’s always perfectly delicious and a great accompaniment to our homemade enchiladas. Have also shared the recipe multiple times. The only thing I add is some lime zest with the juice.

    Does it work as well with brown rice? Would love to make it but can only use brown rice.

      Cilantro is one of mine and my husband's favorite herb! This is awesome! Made it with our chewy brown rice. I had to bring it at work for my lunch, partnered it with roasted veggies of red peppers, butternut squash, zucchini and tiny of roasted beef. So filling! My co-workers loved the smell of this flavored rice as I devoured it. Thank you!

    Archer Farms used to make a Cilantro Lime boxed rice that I absolutely loved to serve on Taco Nights. Then, out of nowhere they stopped making it. I tried several other recipes I found on the Internet, but they weren't very good. This recipe came as a Godsend as it's even better than the boxed AF Rice because I'm using all fresh ingredients. I'm not a huge fan of the greenish color, but the taste more than makes up for it. Thank you!!

    Simple and delicious! (Make extra mixture so the flavor is more intense.)

    I make this for big make your own taco parties. I usually increase the cilantro-rice mixture by 50% so that the rice is extremely flavorful. I also add a dash more salt as well.

    I made this and I love it. I love rice and we usually cook it in a rice cooker . Flavoring it with cilantro adds a lot of kick into it. Next time, we will eat it in burrito.

    mmmmm.... I am thinking roast the garlic with pepitos and a bit of lime juice or better yet zest, then add to the rice. Delicioso!
