This copycat Chipotle brown rice recipe is an upgrade to your conventional (and, let's face it, plain) side dish of rice at dinner. Brown rice provides a nutritious, fiber-packed alternative to white rice. And the cilantro and lime provide an extra dash of delicious Mexican flavor.

- 2 cups brown rice
- 1 lime , juiced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
