Boil

Rice

Stir in the rice. Bring the rice to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer.

Simmer

Cook, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice absorbs all of the liquid. Do not stir while cooking. If the rice gets too dry, add a few tablespoons of extra water.

Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

Fluff with a fork and stir in lime juice, lime zest, chopped cilantro, serrano (if using), and oil.

Serve and enjoy.
