Cilantro Lime Coconut Rice

Cilantro Lime Coconut Rice

This easy rice recipe is cooked in under 30 minutes and flavored with coconut milk, fresh lime juice and cilantro.


Add a tropical flair to your next rice dish by adding in shredded coconut, fresh lime juice and fragrant cilantro. I promise my cilantro lime coconut rice is a winner.

It makes a great accompaniment for any burrito bowl or spicy chicken off the grill.

The key is using coconut milk in addition to water when simmering the rice. Coconut milk and shredded coconut adds fantastic flavor. I couldn’t get enough of it and I just kept going back for more.

This cilantro lime coconut rice recipe is similar to my jasmine rice with cilantro and plantains recipe. Either recipe would be delicious with spicy chicken.

Plain rice can be boring so jazz it up by adding fresh squeezed lime juice and your choice of mix-ins.
