Preparation Instructions
Vent film, cook on HIGH for 4.5 minutes, rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Vent the Cooking Film
Remove entree tray from cardboard box. Pierce the clear plastic film with a fork in 3-4 spots to allow steam to vent.
Microwave on HIGH
Place tray in microwave and heat on HIGH for 4 minutes and 30 seconds. If your microwave is under 1000 watts, add 45 seconds.
Rest for Even Heat Distribution
Carefully remove tray and let stand for 2 minutes. The sauce thickens slightly during this resting time.

Peel off the film, squeeze fresh lime juice over the rice, and top with fresh cilantro and sliced ripe avocado.
