This menu started with a quick and simple Cilantro Lime Shrimp. It's pretty simple and quick. I liked the fresh flavor of the lime and cilantro. Since it was crickets from the others at my table, I'm guessing it wasn't their fav.
As I was scrolling through my pins looking for a side dish, I happened on this Mexican Sour Cream Rice. I've had a similar sounding dish at a local Mexican restaurant and really enjoyed it. Plus, how can rice, sour cream, and cheese be wrong?
I decided to do a little swap out to save some calories and use up what's in my fridge. I used plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and a combo of sharp cheddar and mozzarella instead of Monterey Jack. To keep the recipe kiddo friendly, I used about a third of a 4 oz can of green chilis. I wanted the flavor but not the heat. I loved this rice. I'm really looking forward to enjoying the leftovers in the next few days.
