Tips

- If you don't have a rice cooker, you can cook the rice in a saucepan over medium heat. Just be sure to bring the water to a boil before adding the rice, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed.

- You can use any type of white rice for this recipe, but basmati or jasmine rice will give you the best results.

- If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeño pepper.

- Feel free to add other ingredients to the rice, such as diced tomatoes, black beans, or corn.

- Cilantro lime rice is a great side dish for any type of Mexican or Latin American food.
