servings
Start to Finish:
25 mins
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 3/4 cup dry red lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 - 2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 tostada shells
- 2 cups chopped fresh vegetables (such as broccoli, tomato, zucchini, and/or yellow summer squash)
- 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese (3 ounces)
Directions
In a medium saucepan stir together water, lentils, onion, cilantro, garlic, salt, and cumin. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until lentils are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Use a fork to mash the cooked lentils.
