This Chipotle inspired Cilantro Lime Rice is so simple to make and is the perfect addition to any family meal.

Chipotle Inspired Cilantro Lime Rice

My family lives for fajita night…it’s our version of taco night for sure. I usually grill chicken, make store bought rice and set out all of the fixins so everyone can build their own fajitas. Well, Kate has fallen in love with Chipotle’s amazing cilantro-lime white rice and has been begging me to make it for fajita night, so tonight I did! It is soooo simple to make and is absolutely delicious! I’ll never make store bought rice again…ever!

    One more ingredient for Chipotle’s Lime rice. You MUST use a bay leaf. That is their secret ingredient. I’ve been blessed with it in my burrito bowl more than once. :)
