Threw this together one day when I had nothing in the fridge (save condiments). Lentils cook much, much quicker than dried pintos, and have more protein and fiber. I used my mini-slow cooker, but can be made in a pot on the stove top. Makes 2 servings for a main course with tortillas or chips, 4 servings as a side.
