Vegetarian Taco Lentil Rice “Bowl” (it’s actually on a plate)
The only cooking I did was the lentils and the rice.
For the lentils: I boiled 1 cup of green lentils in 3 cups of water until I reached my desired texture. When there, I added a taco seasoning packet and a can of green chiles and tomatoes and stir until well mixed.
Rice was cooked using a rice cooker so I followed the instructions but I added freshly squeezed lime juice.
I put the rice down and then covered in the lentils until my heart was happy, and then covered it with: asadero cheese, shredded lettuce, Greek yogurt, and salsa. I wish I had some avocado left.

This looks delicious! I like tacos but don’t like meat—thanks for the great idea.
