Instructions:
Rinse lentils and beans, discarding any that look suspicious, and soak in clean water 4 - 6 hours, or overnight.
Put into medium saucepan, bring to boil and simmer, covered, 30 minutes.
Add water if necessary.
Peel and chop onion.
Microwave on ""High" 2 - 2 1/2 minutes until soft.
[If you prefer, you may saute the onion in about 2 T.
oil.
I omit the oil to keep the fat content down.
The flavour does not seem to suffer.
] Chop the Jalapena pepper.
(*) Adjust the quantity to your own taste and / or tolerance.
(**) aka cilantro.
Peel and crush the garlic.
Drain the lentil-bean mixture.
Reserve 1/2 cup of liquor.
In a food processor puree the lentil-bean mixture, the onion, the garlic, the jalapena peppers, the oregano, the chile powder, and the coriander leaves, adding some of the reserved liquor as necessary to process.
[The final puree should be quite thick.
] Pre-heat the oven to 325 F.
Assemble as follows on an oven-proof plate, pizza-pan or cookie-sheet: Place a flour tortilla on the *lightly* greased surface.
Cover with lentil-bean puree [4 - 5 T.
].
Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese.
Add another flour tortilla and repeat, saving enough cheese to cover the top of the final flour tortilla.
Bake for 20 - 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to "firm-up" for 5 - 10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with salsa, chopped tomato and shredded lettuce.
Serve with rice, Couscous and / or corn.
The amount of oregano, coriander leaves, chile powder, or jalapena peppers may be varied to suit individual tastes.
I use more peppers! If you're prone to "problems" with beans, add 1/4 - 1/2 t.
Hing [Hing is a mixture of rice-flour, turmeric and asafoetida found in most East-Indian specialty stores.
It can significantly reduce flatulence.
