If you are a fan of Chipotle you will love having this CopyCat Chipotle Lime Rice Recipe to enjoy the same great taste at home.  The hubby and I absolutely LOVE heading to Chipotle to grab a burrito. Unfortunately the budget does not allow for it as often as we could hope for ha ha! We are both fans of the Chipotle Lime Rice. The flavors are amazing. I am not much of a rice fan ordinarily but I am a HUGE fan of Chipotle Lime Rice.

    OMG this is delicious! It is a perfect dupe and my husband and I – not regular cooks at all — enjoyed shopping for the ingredients and spending the time cooking AND SMELLING the fruit of our labor as it cooked….

    The whole house has a wonderful “people actually cook here” odor! I LOVE IT! The results were incredible, and will keep us in Carnitas for a week.

    Thank you so much!

    This is an easy and delicious dish! However, I’d cut the lime juice in half. I’m going to try it again! Yumm…

    Would regular white rice work?

      I used regular white rice, and it works fine.
