EASY, INEXPENSIVE LENTIL TACOS

Steps:

• Dump everything in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
• Turn down the heat to a little lower than medium and cook covered (just like rice) until done. I usually stir every 5-6 minutes, but you probably don't need to once the spices are mixed!
• Use just like regular taco filling.

TASTY LENTIL TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix lentils and taco seasoning into onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Pour chicken broth into skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Uncover the skillet and cook until mixture is slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Mash lentils slightly; stir in salsa.
• Serve about 1/4 cup lentil mixture in each taco shell.

EASY LENTIL TACOS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients into a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to a medium-low heat and cook covered for approx 50 minutes stirring after 25 minutes Let stand 15 minutes. Rice and lentils should be tender.
• What I like to do is put pot back on burner for a few minutes after it has sat and kind of mash lentils into the rice. This gives it a creamier texture. This can also be done when you are ready to reheat at a later time. Just reheat in pan and lentils will mash as you stir.
