Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil on MED-HIGH in a medium-sized pot. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the basmati rice and taco seasoning. Stir to combine. Add the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to LOW. Cover the pot with a lid and let simmer for 10-12 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked, add the corn and green peas. Remove from the heat, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice.
- Garnish with more cilantro leaves.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice and avoid the synthetic, store-bought stuff (as cute as those little plastic lime-shaped containers are).
- Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. This will make them less like to clump.
- Use long-grain rice. With the shorter variety you run the risk of it turning to mush.
