Enter.. cilantro lime brown rice. First made for a Cinco de Mayo potluck, this simple, yet extremely flavorful side dish quickly became a staple in our house. I’d had cilantro lime rice before at various burrito factories, so I was a bit shocked when I tasted my homemade concoction and discovered an explosive flavor, all at once aromatic, tart, and nutty. The brown rice really pulls its weight here, mingling gently with the coconut oil, tangy lime juice, and herbaceous fresh cilantro. This rice is perfect as a simple side dish and works beautifully at pot lucks, and it would work equally as beautifully in burritos or chimichangas, layered with some homemade refried black beans, sautéed mushrooms, simple guacamole, and some vegan nacho cheese. Mmmmmm…. am I invited? Make this! It’ll become a quick summer favorite, I guarantee it. Hey! You might also like… Homemade Refried Black Beans Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce
