One Pot Cheesy Mexican Lentils, Black Beans and Rice

I just happened to have multiple of the ingredients on hand (Lucky!) and this turned out great!

Didn't miss not having meat at all - very filling and tasty.

Didn't add brown rice. Very flavourful, would definitely make again!

Dear god cook the rice and lentils separately if you're using red lentils. The lentils became a mush that completely impeded the rice from cooking and i kept having to and more and more water😓

Definitely overcooked the rice/lentils so it was a little dry in places. Overall I would make it again with this in mind.

Added some lime juice and only 3/4 tsp chili powder and everyone enjoyed.

Tinned tomatoes plus cumin, chili powder, oregano and garlic (powder) will mimic red enchilada sauce.

I added smoked paprika and the taste really shone through. I also added a bit too much chili but I sliced a large jalapeno and two extra hot red chili's into it as well as the canned chili. Next time I might just go with fresh chili. It wasn't too spicy but the quantity upset my stomach. This sounds like a negative review, this meal was absolutely delicious and it made a bunch of leftovers that I have frozen. Will be making again for sure!

Great! Everyone liked it

We really enjoyed this. Our little kids didn't like it, but it was great for the parents.
