About Cilantro-lime rice

Cilantro-Lime Rice is a flavorful dish inspired by Latin American cuisine, often featured in Mexican and Tex-Mex meals. It combines steamed white or brown rice with fresh cilantro, zesty lime juice, and a touch of olive oil or butter. The vibrant flavors make it a versatile side to pair with tacos, burritos, grilled meats, or vegetable bowls. Nutritionally, using brown rice adds fiber and essential minerals, promoting digestive health and sustained energy. Cilantro is rich in antioxidants and vitamins such as vitamin K, while lime provides a boost of vitamin C and enhances digestion. However, if butter or excessive oil is used, the dish can be higher in fat. Opting for lighter ingredients like olive oil and balancing portions makes it a healthier choice. Cilantro-Lime Rice is both a nutritious and vibrant addition to any meal when prepared with mindful ingredient choices.
