Lental Tacos




Source of Recipe


quickneasyrecipes.com


List of Ingredients




1 cup dried brown lentils, rinsed
8 ounce can tomato sauce
Corn tortillas
1 packet dry taco seasoning mix OR 1 tsp each cumin, garlic salt, paprika, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper
Handful of textured soy protein, optional
Iceberg lettuce (shredded)
Cucumber (seeded, peeled, sliced)
Tomatoes (chopped)
Lemon or lime wedges (optional)


Recipe



Cover the lentils with water in a large saucepan.
They expand tremendously, so use a large pot.
Add tomato sauce, textured soy protein, and taco seasoning.
Bring to high heat until boiling.
Simmer at low heat until the mixture thickens.
Add more water if necessary and stir often so that the bottom does not
burn.
This process will take about an hour.
You want to cook it until it's about the consistency of cooked oatmeal. Taste the mixture and add more seasonings if necessary.
Add more textured soy protein if you want more texture and continue to heat until the textured soy protein is fully hydrated.
In the meantime, heat the corn tortillas in the oven, directly on the oven rack for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees.
Assemble the tacos as desired.

Ready in: 1 hour, 10 minutes
