No such thing as too much guacamole in my book (and I have the ass to prove it, lol)

LOVE this! I’ve tried a different recipe for the rice, and it tasted nothing like chipotle. I actually had my first chipotle only like 6 months ago! Isn’t that crazy? I LOVE IT!

I could eat that every night for dinner

That looks delicious Mara – my sister told me to pop over and see your post because she made it for her family and they ate it up!

I loves me some cilantro rice! Happy Friday!

Thanks!
