Cilantro Lime Rice

My youngest loves Chipotle.  It's not because of their burritos, tacos, or quesadillas, it's because of their rice.  I think he could eat his body weight in it if we allowed him to do so.  He's not a huge fan of Mexican food so I make this side dish to help convince him to eat whatever the main course is that day.
