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:
1/2 onion, chopped |
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1 lime, juiced |
1/2 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.
