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

  • 0.5 onion , chopped
  • 1 can green chilies , 4 ounce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 lime , juiced
  • 0.5 bunches cilantro , chopped
  • 3 cups water
  • 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter , softened
  • 3 cups uncooked instant rice

Instructions

  1. 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. 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.
