    1/4 c  Pinto Beans; dried                1/4 c  Coriander Leaves; chopped 
    1/4 c  Red Kidney Beans; dried             6 oz Monterey Jack Cheese; grated

      1    Onion; medium                       1    Tomato; medium, chopped 
      4    Garlic Cloves                       1    Lettuce; shredded 
      2    Jalapeno Peppers *                  1    Salsa

  Servings:  4 
   
  Rinse lentils and beans, discarding any that look suspicious, and soak in 
  clean water 4 - 6 hours, or overnight.  Put into medium saucepan, bring to 
  boil and simmer, covered, 30 minutes.  Add water if necessary. 
   
  Peel and chop onion.  Microwave on "High" 2 - 2 1/2 minutes until soft. [If 
  you prefer, you may saute the onion in about 2 T. oil.  I omit the oil to 
  keep the fat content down.  The flavour does not seem to suffer.] Chop the 
  Jalapena pepper.  (*) Adjust the quantity to your own taste and / or 
  tolerance. 
   
  Peel and crush the garlic. 
   
  Drain the lentil-bean mixture.  Reserve 1/2 cup of liquor.  In a food 
  processor puree the lentil-bean mixture, the onion, the garlic, the 
  jalapena peppers, the oregano, the chile powder, and the coriander leaves, 
  adding some of the reserved liquor as necessary to process.  [The final 
  puree should be quite thick.] 
   
  Pre-heat the oven to 325 F. 
   
  Assemble as follows on an oven-proof plate, pizza-pan or cookie-sheet: 
   
  Place a flour tortilla on the *lightly* greased surface. Cover with 
  lentil-bean puree [4 - 5 T.].  Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Add 
  another flour tortilla and repeat, saving enough cheese to cover the top of 
  the final flour tortilla.  Bake for 20 - 30 minutes. 
   
  Remove from oven and allow to "firm-up" for 5 - 10 minutes before serving. 
   
  Garnish with salsa, chopped tomato and shredded lettuce.  Serve with rice, 
  Couscous and / or corn. 
   
  The amount of oregano, coriander leaves, chile powder, or jalapena peppers 
  may be varied to suit individual tastes.  I use more peppers!  If you're 
  prone to "problems" with beans, add 1/4 - 1/2 t. Hing [Hing is a mixture of 
  rice-flour, turmeric and asafoetida  found in most 
  East-Indian specialty stores.  It can significantly reduce flatulence.
