Tasty Lentil Tacos

I wanted to share with everyone this yummy vegetarian recipe. I have fixed a few dozen veggie recipes and this so far is my favorite (it is from allrecipes.com). Enjoy!

Tasty Lentil Tacos

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 (I used vegetable broth)
1 cup salsa
12 taco shells
Taco Toppings: shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, shredded cheddar cheese & sour cream

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 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 desired taco toppings.

I just bought some lentils the other day. However, I think if I put lentil tacos on the table in front of Josh, the comments of derision might be too much to take.
