Taco Style Lentils and Rice 3/4 cup dry lentils 3/4 cup brown rice 4 1/2 cups tap water 4 beef bouillon cubes 2 teaspoons chili powder 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder In a 2-quart saucepan bring the water to a boil. As the water is heating, add the lentils, rice, bouillon, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder. Bring the whole thing to a nice fat boil. Reduce the heat to low. Place a lid on the lentils and allow the mixture to simmer for about 45 to 50 minutes. The water should be mostly absorbed. You may serve this as it, topped with a little cheddar cheese if desired. Or you can use it to fill burritos or tacos instead. Both ways are very tasty. If you have never tried lentils and are looking for a way to make them acceptable to the kids, this one is a good bet. A good way to eat this is as a taco filling* If you are having a busy day and don*t have time to cook this on the stove, it can cook in the crock pot on low for about 4-5 hours* * This also makes a great & healthy dip. Serve it warm *Mine cooked almost dry in about 4 hours, so check it often.
