Brown Cilantro Lime Rice

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of brown rice (or white rice)
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice (I used 1/2 a lemon and it worked fine)
- 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro (I used much more)
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt (I didn't measure I just poured)

Recipe:
Just put brown rice to steam in my rice cooker (1 cup of brown rice with 1 1/2 cups water). When the rice was done, I added the lime lemon juice, cilantro and salt. Then mix and tada! Chipotle Brown cilantro lime (or lemon) rice.
