Lentil Taco Mix
Ingr: Red Lentils, Minced Onion, Garlic Granules, Dried Oregano, Fiesta Chili Powder (Chili Peppers (may contain silicone dioxide), Cumin, Garlic, Oregano, Coriander, Cloves, Allspice)
You will need:
1 tsp olive oil
2 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas/taco shells
Suggested toppings:
1 large tomato, diced; 1 avocado, sliced; 2/3 cup salsa;
2 cups shredded lettuce; 2/3 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt; 2/3 cup low-fat cheese
Directions: Sort and rinse dried lentils. In a non-stick saucepan, heat olive oil just a bit. Add your flavor packet and stir for one minute. Add broth and lentils, bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Cover and simmer 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender. Uncover, cook 6-8 minutes more, or until mixture has thickened. Mash lentils with the back of a spoon.
To make the tacos, layer 1/4 cup lentils into each of 10 tortillas. Top with lettuce, tomato, an avocado slice and 1 tablespoon each of yogurt, salsa and cheese.
We like to use this recipe with chips and cheese!
