Chipotle White Rice Recipe - At Home - by a former Chipotle Employee

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, olive oil, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam.

Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.

Stir in the lime juice, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.

Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for burrito bowls.
