One Pot Cheesy Mexican Lentils, Black Beans and Rice

Very easy to make and delicious!

I used less enchilada sauce and chili powder and left the green chilies on the side because my kids doesn’t like spice at all. I also added plant-based shredded “chicken”. The family loved it! I might add more black beans next time.

Delicious I would definitely make it again

Very delicious! I served it with tortilla chips like a dip. PERFECTION!

This recipe was delicious! All being in one pot and being relatively hands off besides light prep and opening cans makes this a win on a busy night. Had to double up on the spices to taste, drain excess broth and added more garlic. My girlfriend says it basically tastes like a Mexican chili. 8/10!

Loved it; I used 3 pots though. Instant pot for fresh veggie scrap broth and then the dried black beans. Then added the broth and beans to the toasted lentil rice dish on the stove. A banger with any protein 🔥 added chile 🌶️

Delicious! I cooked the Lentils and rice as directed and it came out perfect. Some people recommended cooking separately but I found that unnecessary. I sautéed 1 chopped jalapeno with the onion. If cooking the black beans: it is about 160 g dry (I pressure cooked mine). I also added extra enchilada sauce and 1 can Rotel instead of crushed tomatoes & green chilis. We topped it with chili cheese fredos & sour cream. 10/10 recommend. I'm sure I'll make this again. The way I made it added a bit more spice, but so flavorful.

Good! Will def make again 👍 not sure if it would’ve worked, but followed someone else’s suggestion and made the rice and lentils separately.

Used basmati rice and red lentils which cook in about the same time. 1 cup rice and about 2 cups stock. Next time fry off spices at the start, add tomatoes and zucchini to build up the flavour. I baked in oven with the cheese on top. Kids not massive fans of the recipe due to dislike of beans.

Easy, one pot. Good flavour!

Makes a bunch, delicious reheated, whole family loves it!

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.
