Chili Over Hot-dogs With A Side Of Cilantro Lime Brown Rice

Today’s dinner is not that creative it is based on a craving. But then again whets more fulfilling than satisfying a craving?

Today as I was reading my book I decide to make Chili.

I hoped I had everything I needed and I did.

I use Virgo Chili Mix. It cannot be beat and it is quick and easy.

I decided to change up what I was going to add to the mix this time because tomorrow or Friday I will make a Mexican Taco salad.

So instead of the tomatoes I added chopped tomatoes with green chilies and a quarter package of taco mix.

While that was cooking I had to decide if I was going to make corn bread. No its summer time I wanted something a little lighter.

That is when I decided to make brown rice with lime.

Here is how I made it:

Cilantro Lime Brown Rice

Ingredients:

1 cup instant brown rice,

1 cup of water

1 tablespoon of butter

Salt and pepper to taste

½ lime

Handful of fresh cilantro

Directions:

Cook according to package directions in the microwave adding the juice of ½ lime and lime zest.

Also add the cilantro, butter, and seasonings.

I am also growing cilantro to it is available on my porch. Also there is Mexican Tarragon and parsley and I added some of that as well.

When the rice was done I added just about a teaspoon of brown sugar. I just needed to cut the tart taste of the lime a little.

It tasted really good.

When the chili was done I served over two hot dogs with the rice as a side.

I though it turned out great and hope you give it a try and enjoy it as I did!
