I don't know why so many people give cilantro a bad wrap. It's so delicious, especially in dishes like this. I will definitely give this one a try as I am a cilantro, lime and rice fanatic. Just stumbled upon your blog today and I'm looking forward to keeping up and reading more of your yummy posts.
I love Mexican, but never really tasted any of their rice dishes. Thanks for sharing. Your bowl of rice looks very tempting!
