CHILI LIME RICE

Steps:

• Add the rice, vegetable stock and chili powder to a small pot. Place it on the stove top on medium heat, and allow it to simmer for 10-15 minutes (or longer if using brown rice), until the water has been absorbed and the rice has cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Add lime juice to the cooked rice, and stir to combine. Add additional chili powder if you want to make it spicy. Serve chili lime rice while it is still hot.
