We lovingly re-titled these "poop tacos" because they look like . . . poop. They really taste wonderful, though.
Ready in 45 minutes. Serves 8.
Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp canola oil
2 cups dried red lentils, rinsed (use green lentils for a firmer texture)
1/4 tsp chili powder (use more for hotter flavor)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
5 cups chicken broth
Flour tortillas, tacos, or tortilla chips
Toppings: shredded lettuce, olive, avocado, black beans, tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream
Directions:
In a large nonstick skillet, saute the onion and garlic
in oil until tender. Add the lentils, chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper;
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, the red lentils will naturally mash together like a refried bean texture. Spoon lentil mixture onto each tortilla or taco and add
toppings.
