Lentil Tacos

Lentil Tacos
Kristen W.
Yield: about 6 medium servings

1 tsp. canola oil
 2/3 c. finely chopped onion (or dried onion, or onion powder if needed)
 1 small clove garlic, minced
 2/3 c. dried lentils, rinsed
 1 TB taco seasoning, or to taste
 2 c. chicken broth
 2/3 c. verde or tomatillo salsa
 taco shells, tortillas, or chips

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix lentils and taco seasoning into onion mixture. Cook and stir for 1 minute.

Pour chicken broth into skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until lentils are tender, about 25 minutes. Uncover the skillet and cook until mixture is slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in salsa. Serve in taco shells, tortillas, or over chips with cheese, sour cream, lettuce, salsa, guacamole, or other taco toppings.
