EASY LENTIL TACOS

Categories Low Cholesterol

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3/4 cup dry green lentils
3/4 cup brown rice
4 cups beef broth
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Mix all ingredients into a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to a medium-low heat and cook covered for approx 50 minutes stirring after 25 minutes Let stand 15 minutes. Rice and lentils should be tender.
What I like to do is put pot back on burner for a few minutes after it has sat and kind of mash lentils into the rice. This gives it a creamier texture. This can also be done when you are ready to reheat at a later time. Just reheat in pan and lentils will mash as you stir.

Categories Low Cholesterol

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3/4 cup dry lentils (brown ones)
3/4 cup dry brown rice
4 cups water
4 beef bouillon cubes (or chicken, vegetable)
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Dump everything in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
Turn down the heat to a little lower than medium and cook covered (just like rice) until done. I usually stir every 5-6 minutes, but you probably don't need to once the spices are mixed!
Use just like regular taco filling.
