When rice is done, fluff with a fork and stir in half the green onions, half the lime zest and half the cilantro. Season with salt. Mix sour cream, half the lime juice and remaining lime zest in a small bowl. (NOTE: This is your lime crema!) Mix tomatoes, avocado, remaining green onions, remaining cilantro and remaining lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (NOTE: This is your pico de gallo!)
