List of Ingredients 1 1/2 cups dry lentils, picked over for debris

1 T olive oil

1 large onion, diced

1 large sweet red pepper, diced

2 T minced garlic

3 T chili powder

2 tsp. oregano

1 1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 tsp. kosher salt

29 oz. can diced tomatoes, fire-roasted with chiles, undrained

31 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained

Description Place lentils in a large saucepan and cover with water by several inches; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are tender but retain a little bite, about 10 to 15 minutes; drain well and set aside.



Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Cook onion, pepper and garlic, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.



In a cup, combine chili powder, oregano, cumin, cayenne and salt; add to skillet and stir well to combine.  Cook, stirring often, about 1 minute.



Add tomatoes and their juice, and beans to skillet; stir well to combine.  Cover skillet and simmer so flavors can blend, about 5 to 10 minutes.  Fold in lentils and cilantro; serve.
