List of Ingredients
These are so good re-heated that I once took the leftover filling, spooned them into warmed tortillas, rolled them up, put them in a Pammed baking dish, covered them in salsa and baked them and took them to church for a potluck!! They were gobbled up.
Everyone asked me what that recipe was... I didn't tell anybody it was made from my leftover dinner! LOL
Anyway, here it is...
Tasty Lentil Tacos
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced (I use 1/2 tsp. ready-minced)
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 cup dry lentils, rinsed
1 Tbs. chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
2-1/2 cups chicken broth (or beef broth) (I use one can Swanson's reduced-sodium beef broth)
1 cup salsa (I use chi-chi's medium)
12 hard taco shells
Recipe
In a large non-stick skillet, saute the onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add the lentils, chili powder, cumin and oregano; cook and stir for 1 minute.
Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Uncover; cook for 6-8 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Stir in salsa.
(heat up your taco shells while doing the last part of the above)
Spoon about 1/4 cup into each taco shell and top with your favorite taco fixin's.
We like shredded colby-jack and lettuce (i've also used torn-up spinach) This taco filling heats up really well in the microwave the next day and is just as delicious as the first night.
