Cilantro Lime Brown Rice {Electric Pressure Cooker Recipe}

We love Mexican food. And I'm always on the lookout for a good Mexican dish that is healthy. So many Mexican recipes use white rice or a lot of meat, both of which we try to use in moderation. Here's a delicious side-dish recipe that we love that uses brown rice.

We love to serve this as a topping on this yummy Mexican black bean salad .  Cilantro Lime Brown Rice {Electric Pressure Cooker Recipe} Printable Recipe * Serves 3-4 INGREDIENTS: 1 Cup Long Grain Brown Rice 1-2/3 Cups Chicken Broth 1 tsp. butter 1/2 tsp. garlic, minced 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp. fresh lime juice, divided 1-1/2 tsp. white sugar 3 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped finely DIRECTIONS: In an elec...
