We loved this rice. I used one whole jalapeno. At the end, I added the squeeze of lime and a handful of fresh, chopped tomatoes. Delicious and has lots of flavor.

This was very good. I agree that a squeeze of lime (or lemon, because I was out of lime) juice made all the difference. In fact, I'd recommend not leaving it out.

This rice was a big hit! I had trouble finding the fresh tomatillos as well- the canned were just fine. I squeezed some fresh lime juice on the rice- it added a little more zing to it. I'll definitely make it again!
