Texan Flour Tortillas

[tai]

First, here's the recipe for Hot Cross Buns I posted last year. I made some today - yum.

This is a simple and tasty recipe for soft tortillas I found on Homesick Texan. You could fill them with thingswithwings burrito mix below (talk about serendipitous, I only noticed her entry after I'd posted this!) or use whatever you like - meat, beans, salsa, salad, cheese, fish, cooked veges like zucchini and capsicum... the possibilies are endless!

Easy tomato lentil soup recipe

[vass]

Improvised last night, and so easy and good that I'm making it again tonight.

375g dry brown or green lentils
690mL tomato-based pasta sauce of your choice
2 stock cubes of your choice

1. Put the lentils in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to boil. Boil for a few minutes, then drain, then put back in saucepan. Add enough water to cover lentils plus one inch. Cook until soft; do not drain.

2. Add all of pasta sauce and stock cubes. Add some more water if it needs it. Leave simmering on the stove and forget about it until it's thick and soupy. Serve. Add cracked black pepper if you feel like it.

If you're wondering about the measurements, I just took one packet of brown lentils, and one large bottle of pasta sauce. It shouldn't matter if you have a different packet or a different bottle.

If you want to do it 'properly' you could cook fry some garlic and onions in olive oil and add tinned or fresh tomatoes and herbs and cook them down and then add them to the cooked lentils and cook some more, but that takes effort. This soup does not take effort.
