ONE POT CHEESY MEXICAN LENTILS, BLACK BEANS AND RICE #Vegetarian #MexicanFood

They are an extraordinary wellspring of protein and fiber just as being lower in fat than numerous sorts of meat. I utilized lentils and dark beans in this one pot feast for a few reasons.

Both are brimming with iron. One serving of dark beans really has increasingly iron that a 3 ounce serving of flank steak! Iron is vital, particularly for ladies and considerably more so for female competitors. Not having enough iron in your eating regimen can abandon you feeling drained and low on vitality.

Alongside the wholesome parts of utilizing beats in this formula I likewise love the flavor and surface they include. Dark beans have a decent smoothness to them and combined with the chewy and heartier lentils it makes for an incredible meat substitute.
