Lentil Tacos

These lentil tacos are a great meatless substitute for the real thing. Just be sure you cook the lentils long enough. The original recipe said 20-30 minutes, which might work well at low altitudes but I had much better success cooking them for 45-55 minutes.

Ingredients:
1 tsp oil
2/3 C finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2/3 C of lentils, rinsed
1 Tbs taco seasoning
1 2/3 C of chicken or vegetable broth
2/3 C salsa

Directions:
 Heat oil in a skillet. Cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add lentils and taco seasoning. Stir and let cook for about 1 minute. Cover lentils with broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer until the lentils are fully cooked, about 45 minutes.

Uncover and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened; about 6-8 minutes. Gently mash the lentils and stir in salsa. Serve with all your favorite taco fixings.
