    Tasty Lentil Tacos


    Source of Recipe


    Marsha

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup finely chopped onion
    1 garlic clove, minced (I use 1 ready-minced)
    1 teaspoon canola oil
    1 cup dry lentils, rinsed
    1 Tbs. chili powder
    2 tsp. ground cumin
    1 tsp. dried oregano
    1/2 tsp. coriander (I added to the recipe)
    2-1/2 cups chicken broth (I used one can)
    1 cup salsa (I used a medium heat refrigerated "fresh" type of salsa - well worth it)

    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. I added in the salsa, 1/2 at a time, during the last cooking process when the mixture thickens up.

    (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.
