HEALTHY NO-COOK DINNER

Well, OK, it IS cooked, but the microwave doesn't really count, right?  The main point is that there are no pots and pans to scrub, or stove to wipe down!  :)

Ingredients:
(Makes 2 servings)

1 package Trader Joe's frozen organic brown rice
1/2 package Trader Joe's pre-cooked lentils
Handful organic spinach leaves
2 green onions
Sprinkling of Trader Joe's lite Mexican shredded cheese
1/2 lime
1/4 jalapeno, diced
4 Tbsp. Trader Joe's Chipotle Sauce (or equal parts ketchup + Worcestershire sauce + Tabasco Chipotle Sauce + mayonnaise)
1/2 avocado, sliced
Few sprigs of cilantro

Directions:

1.  Snip corner of rice bag and nuke for 3 minutes.

2.  Divide rice between two bowls.

3.  Top each bowl of rice with half of lentils and half of spinach.  Cut one green onion over each bowl with scissors.  Sprinkle each with cheese and jalapeno.  Squeeze lime juice over each.  Drizzle half of chipotle sauce over each.

4.  Nuke each bowl for approximately 1 minute.  Top each with avocado slices and cilantro.

Notes:

*Find the lentils on the vegetable wall at TJ's.

*Note that if you use Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, it contains anchovies and therefore is not vegetarian, but other brands are swimmer-free.

*If you prepare this all the way to the last step but don't cook, you can easily take it with you to work or school and nuke in the kitchen there...easy, fast, cheap, delicious & healthy!

*I use scissors to cut the jalapeno, too, and I slice the avocado in its skin in my hand with a dull-ish knife, so there is literally nothing to clean after cooking this except the scissors, the knife, and the bowls and forks.  Heaven!

*Leave out jalapeno and use sweet barbecue sauce for kiddos.
