Tasty Lentil Tacos

These Lentil Tacos have become a family favorite. We actually don't use the cheese or sour cream. I also will sometimes throw in a green pepper. I hope you enjoy.


Tasty Lentil Tacos


Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon canola oil
2 cups dried lentils, rinsed
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth ( I always just use water)

12 taco shells
1-1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
guacamole
sprouts
salsa
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
6 tablespoons fat-free sour cream

Directions:
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 45 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
Uncover; cook for 6-8 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Mash lentils slightly.
Spoon about 1/4 cup lentil mixture into each taco shell. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream. Yield: 6 servings.
