Flavorful Lentil Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup dried lentils, rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 2/3 cups chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup salsa
  • 12 taco shells
Instructions
1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat, allowing the oil to warm up. Introduce the onion and garlic into the skillet; stir constantly until they become soft, approximately 5 minutes. Introduce lentils and taco seasoning into the skillet; stir for just one minute.
2
Add chicken broth to the skillet, causing it to reach a boiling point. Lower the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid, allowing it to simmer until the lentils are tender, ranging from 25 to 30 minutes.
3
Remove the lid from the skillet and continue cooking until the mixture has thickened slightly, around 6 to 8 minutes. Use a spoon or fork to mash the lentils gently; then, stir in salsa.
4
Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the lentil mixture into each taco shell for a delicious and satisfying meal.
