Notes
- Chipotle uses basmati rice. For results most like chipotle, use basmati rice.
- Be careful to use a folding motion and fluff the rice. If you use a stirring motion or over mix the rice you risk turning it to mush, so be careful.
- I like to rinse my rice before cooking it to get rid of anything on it. You can use either rinsed or un-rinsed rice for this recipe.
