Modified by yours truly. Lentil Enchiladas 3 cups water 1 cup lentils 1 onion, chopped (recipe called for "small" onion, I used a large one) 1 green pepper, chopped 2 tsp garlic (I used fresh oil-free garlic from a jar) 1 tsp red pepper 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp cumin 1/2 cup salsa ff tortillas Optional garnishes: Chopped fresh tomatoes Salsa Put water and beans in saucepan on med high heat. Add all ingredients except salsa and tortillas. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionlly. Reduce heat and let cook til lentils are soft, about 45 minutes. (Keep stirring because the beans will stick to the bottom of the pot.) Once the beans are mushy, add salsa, stir well. Place in tortillas, garnish as desired, and enjoy. NOTE: I didn't soak the beans beforehand and haven't experienced any problems. Mary McD says, in this book, that you don't need to soak lentils. I can look this up if anyone wants to hear her reasoning. kwvegan vegan
