- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 1/3 cup lime juice divided
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 cups water

Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water, until the water runs clear. Add the rice to the pot, along with half the lime juice, the garlic powder, and the water.

- Serve with beans, in a burrito or burrito bowl, or with tacos - enjoy!
