Easy Cilantro Lime Rice

Instructions:
Step 1: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, olive oil or butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Step 4: Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Step 5: Stir in lime juice, lime zest, and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6: Serve warm, garnished with lime wedges.
