Ingredients
  

1 cup long-grain white rice

2 cups vegetable broth (or water)

Zest of 1 lime

Juice of 2 limes

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Rinse the Rice: Start by rinsing the rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch and helps achieve fluffier rice.

    Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and vegetable broth (or water). Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.

      Fluff the Rice: After the cooking time is up, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. After that, use a fork to fluff the rice gently.

        Add Flavorings: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. If you're using crushed red pepper flakes, add them here as well.

          Combine: Pour the lime mixture over the fluffed rice and add the chopped cilantro. Gently toss everything together until well combined, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the zesty dressing.

            Serve: Transfer the Zesty Lime Cilantro Rice to a serving dish, garnish with additional cilantro if desired, and serve warm as a delightful accompaniment to tacos, grilled chicken, or fish.
