    Okay this cilantro lime rice is so delicious! It's made with minute rice too, so it is so easy! Hey friends! I am so excited to share this recipe with you guys today! Ever since the very first time I stepped foot in Cafe Rio, I have been obsessed with their garlic lime rice! It just adds such a fun flavor to any Mexican dish (like our easy Salsa Chicken Tacos)! My favorite thing about this recipe is that it's made with minute rice, so it is super quick and easy to throw together! For barely any extra work you can take your meal to another level! You ready for the recipe?

      I have made this rice several times (along with the homemade cafe rio pork recipe) and it is so good! And such a people pleaser. I couldn’t recommend this more!
