Cilantro Rice

Method

Cilantro Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain white rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Fluff and Flavor

    Remove the rice from heat, let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Stir in chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

Corn Salsa

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to combine.

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed.

Guacamole

  1. 5

    Mash Avocados

    Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached.

  2. 6

    Add Flavor

    Mix in lime juice, salt, diced tomato, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro until well combined.

Pico de Gallo
