Here's a fat-free recipe copied directly from a friend. The only thing you might need to be careful with is the taco seasoning and tortillas if you eat it with them. (And for the bell pepper I always use red or orange, I hate the green ones.)
Slap and Pinch
1/2 cup chopped onion 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper 1/2 cup chopped celery or carrot 4 cups water 1 cup uncooked lentils 1-1/2 cups cooked brown rice 1 6-oz can tomato paste 1 1.5oz. packet taco seasoning 1 small can chopped green chilis 1/2-1 tsp. chili powder
Cook rice.
Bring to a boil the onions, bell pepper, celery/carrots and water in a small to medium saucepan. Stir in the lentils, cover pot, lower temp to Low and simmer 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil/spray 1-3/4-qt. casserole.
Remove pot from heat and mix in all the rest of the ingredients. Spoon into casserole.
Bake 25 minutes, uncovered.
Notes:
To eat this as "Slap and Pinch," serve on a single dish or on each person's plate with tortillas on the side. Each person tears off a piece of tortilla, slaps it onto the mixture, pinches off a bite and eats it! Also good as a regular casserole. Leftovers make terrific burritos.
