As lovers of all things Mexican, these wraps with cilantro lime rice are a favorite.
Since I had leftovers on the plan for dinner tonight, and we ate the leftovers for lunch yesterday, I had to come up with something for dinner. I had most everything on had for this, just had to grab some fresh cilantro while I was out.
This is my attempt to recreate wraps from Qdoba, which is my favorite place to eat out. Sadly, I only get there maybe once a year. These are nice because they are easy, and like tacos people can put in them what they want, so there is a way to please everyone all at once, which is always a winner with so many mouths to feed, two of whom I would consider to be picky eaters.

First I just make some rice according to the package directions, then to it I add:
- 2 T of lime juice per cup of rice (I make 2 cups)
- 2 T of fresh cilantro per cup of rice (I make 2 cups)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 T coconut oil
- sour cream (to bring it together in consistency, about 1/3 cup for me)
- taco sauce (about 3 T, just to give it a little kick, if only making 1 cup of rice I would half that)
Then, I have the following available to choose from:
- the rice listed above
- black beans
- grilled chicken
- sour cream
- fresh diced tomatoes
- cilantro
- additional sour cream
- additional taco sauce
- Mexican blend cheese
Everyone makes up their own, and aside from doing the prep work it is an easy meal for me. We usually have tortilla chips, too.
