1
Prepare the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
2
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
3
Fluff and Mix
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork.
4
Add Flavor
Stir in the lime juice, chopped cilantro, and olive oil until well combined.
5
Serve
Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite Mexican dish.
