Better Than Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice

This recipe, also known as Arroz Verde (Green Rice) brings the zip! We start with aromatic basmati rice, add a couple special ingredients to amp up the creaminess and flavor, finishing with lime juice AND zest. This is my favorite side dish to serve with Chicken tacos, Fajitas, Carne Asada, Burritos, you name it. Or just eat all by itself, it's that good!

1 cup chicken broth*

1 cup milk, I used whole milk, any kind will do

1 and ½ teaspoons kosher salt, or use 1 teaspoon of table salt

1 cup spinach, packed

¾ cup cilantro, packed tight (about 1 bunch)

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 and ½ cups basmati rice

¼ yellow onion, chopped small

1 clove garlic

2 teaspoons lime zest, buy at least 2 limes

3 tablespoons lime juice
