Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 onions, chopped
1 cup long grain white rice
1 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup dried lentils
1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup medium salsa
1 tsp chili powder (to taste)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
pepper

Directions:

In a medium deep-sided skillet with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook, stirring until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the rice and garlic and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes.
Add the water, lentils, pinto beans, corn, salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper; bring to a boil over medium-high heat stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid, about 20 minutes.
Serve immediately.
