Ingredients
-
3/4 cup dry lentils (brown ones)
3/4 cup dry brown rice
4 cups water (I HAD TO ADD MORE WATER WHILE IT COOKED)
4 beef bouillon cubes (or chicken, vegetable)
(I USED SOUP BASE INSTEAD OF THE CUBES 1 1/2 tablespoons of the soup base)
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Makes about 8 servings about 1/2 cup each.
Dump everything in a medium pot and boil. Turn down the heat to a little lower than medium and cook covered for 45 to 60 minutes until lentils and rice are both cooked I usually stir every 5-6 minutes, but you probably don't need to once the spices are mixed! Check to see if you need to add more water while cooking.
Use just like regular taco filling.
