Lime Cilantro Rice with Black Beans

I served this along side the lime chicken recipe below.

2 cups cooked rice
1/2 lime - juiced
1/2 cup cilantro - chopped
1 can black beans - drained and rinsed


Mix everything and heat for a few minutes. Enjoy!


I cooked the rice earlier in the day so come dinner time it was cold. I put everything in a skillet and added an entire can of beef broth (it was all I had and would of preferred chicken broth). I let it cook for a few minutes until most of the liquid was absorbed and it was hot again. If you serve this right away, you won't have to do that.

BBQ lime chicken

I made this last night and oh my gosh it was so good!

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp seasoning salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cut olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced (I use the jar stuff)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Pierce chicken all over with a fork. In a ziplock add all ingredients except chicken. Mix it well, then add chicken and put in fridge for at least 2 hours.

Grill and enjoy! It was so simple but it was so tender and yummy
