“Very similar to the rice of a famous burrito place, this rice pairs well with Mexican food and can be used as a filler in burritos.” - by Mrs Brown

The taste was a lot more like chicken when I was expecting more lime and cilantro. I would probably cut the chicken bullion is half and add more lime juice and cilantro.
