Cilantro Lime Brown Rice (Chipotle Copy Cat)
Our family has a bit of an obsession with brown rice. That’s not saying we don’t enjoy white rice, we just tend to lean towards brown rice for most things. When Dave suggested that we make some Copy Cat Chipotle bowls I jumped at the chance for us to make some Cilantro Lime Brown Rice.
Adventures in Cilantro Lime Brown Rice
It was a first for us, so it was really nice that is turned out so perfectly.
It was amazingly delicious and absolutely a repeat make!
As a note, this recipe was made in our rice cooker. We normally stick with our Instant Pot and Air Fryer, but we were using both of them to cook up chicken and tacos. Trying to find space for all three of these appliances was an adventure. We finally just moved the Air Fryer outside. It was hilarious seeing people sneaking looks around the corner to check in on what we were cooking. I’m sure it smelled amazing!
