Dh's comment, "you've made this a few times before but this one I LIKE." You can use vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian or use chicken or beef. You can use a can of diced tomatoes (regular or Rotel) instead of taco sauce or salsa but it will take a bit longer to cook because of the added liquid. This made enough for our family of 4 to have 3-4 tacos each with just a little bit left over.

Categories One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 package red lentils or 1 package green lentil
1 onion, minced (use more or less to taste)
2 cloves garlic
favorite taco seasoning or homemade salsa
salt and pepper (optional)
sliced avocado
alfalfa sprout
chopped onion
grated cheese
sour cream
diced tomato
corn tortilla (You may use small flour Tortillas if you prefer)

Steps:

Cook lentils with the garlic and minced onions, according to package directions until they are the consistency of refried beans.
I use less water and add as I need it so I do not have to drain any water.
Add packaged taco seasoning or fresh salsa and salt and pepper.
The consistency should be thick.
Warm tortillas.
Add a spoon of lentil mixture, and your favorite garnishes.
Serve and enjoy.
I like to do a taco bar and let everyone make their own.
