Hello,

Well, I've been meaning to try this recipe for a while now, it's called Lentil Tacos.
It just seems like such a great idea to use lentils in tacos for a healthier alternative that is just as delicious. You might want to try it out!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 cup dried lentils, rinsed
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup salsa
12 taco shells
1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
6 tablespoons fat free sour cream

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large nonstick 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. Mash lentils slightly.
   
2. Stir in salsa. Spoon about 1/4 cup lentil mixture into each taco shell.
   Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream.
