Melt the coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
Add the coconut flakes and lightly toast, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Add the rice, coconut milk, stock, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover.
Let the rice cook until tender and all liquid is absorbed. If the rice is dry but not done, add a little more stock or water.
Fluff the rice with a fork and remove from the heat. Add the lime zest, juice, and cilantro and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and black pepper as desired.
