  • 1/2 Cup Barbecue Sauce
  • 1 Tbs Hot Sauce
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper

Cilantro Lime Rice

  • 1 1/2 Cups Medium-Grain White Rice
  • 1 1/2 Cups Water
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbs Avocado Oil
  • 1/3 Cup Chopped Cilantro
  • Juice from 1 Lime or more, to taste

Sautéed Onions and Peppers

  • 1 Green Bell Pepper sliced
  • 1/2 Red Onion sliced
  • 1 Tbs Avocado Oil
  • Pinch of Salt

Bowl Add-Ons

Instructions

  • First, make the lentils. Add the lentils and water to pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until all liquid is absorbed (about 20-25 minutes). When done, remove from heat add in the salt, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, and black pepper, and stir. Set aside.
  • While lentils are cooking, make the rice. Add the rice, water, and salt to a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until all of the rice is absorbed. When done, remove from heat and add in the avocado oil, cilantro, and lime juice. Fluff with a fork, then set aside.
  • Cook the onions and peppers next. Bring the avocado oil to medium heat in a NON-STICK sauté pan. Once the oil is hot, add in the onions, peppers, and salt and sauté until the veggies are browned in places, about 5-7 minutes or so.
  • Build your bowls - add in the rice and lentils, then layer on the veggies and any other toppings you like.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • I provided a water measurement for the rice and lentils, but this may not apply to the variety you bought. When in doubt, cook both using the package's directions.
