Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents stickiness. In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.Once done, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to fluff up.

Transfer the hot rice to a mixing bowl. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime and stir well. The citrusy aroma will start to release! Add ⅛ cup of chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt. Gently stir everything together until evenly combined.

Plate the rice in a serving bowl (a black guacamole dish works great for presentation!). Garnish with extra lime wedges and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve warm and enjoy with grilled chicken, fish, tacos, or your favorite Mexican dishes!
