Happy Tuesday sweet friends!
Have you heard of ‘Taco Tuesday’? Are you on board with that? We are are are at my house. We love tacos so having them once a week, is fine by us! Taco night…yes please! We don’t always have traditional tacos though. Sometimes I just make all the fixings and we put it all in a bowl. Taco meat, beans, rice, pico de Gallo, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, olives, tortilla chips and sometimes even queso (my boys favorite)! I like to start with rice on the bottom and this Cilantro Lime Rice is the perfect backdrop for our tacos in a bowl. This rice is a family favorite for good reason. It has a great flavor and is so easy to make! We like this as a side when I make our favorite Honey Lime Enchiladas, Creamy Fiesta Chicken Bake , Baked Chicken Tacos or any Mexican food really! I think this Cilantro Lime Rice will be a staple at your house too.
I love to have the ingredients to simple, easy recipes on hand, especially in the month of December. Life gets so busy this time of year but I want to enjoy good meals with my family still. Planning ahead is key for me. Did you know I have free printable weekly menu planner/ grocery list here ?
Have a great day!
