This meal was inspired by one of those nights where you are standing and staring, with the glow of the refrigerator light on your face, wondering what to make while consciously avoiding having to make a trip the grocery store. The previous night was Christmas, full of seasonal holiday indulgences, which meant dinner tonight should be something light and an attempt to clean out what I have left from the multitude of appetizer dishes I had made. The challenge was there was no left over meat, eggs, or cheese. To add to this, I was out of the pantry staples of rice and pasta. Just a scant cup of dried lentils and some vegetables were the given main ingredients. I searched for a common theme that would tie it together. In the corner of the refrigerator door was a jar of the remaining roasted tomatillo salsa we had from a farmer's market. Inspiration found, south of the border is where dinner was headed...
