Linsen tacos

My apologies the pic is not the best but I assure you this is worth a go, it will be added to our favorites binder.

I got this recipe from Eat at home

Here is the original recipe with notes of the variations I made.

2. Linsen Tacos 
   Ingredients:
   1 cup lentils 
   1 onion diced
   1 clove garlic minced
   1 tbs. Chili powder
   2 tsp. Cumin
   1 tsp. Oregano
   2.5 cups chicken broth
   1 cup salsa
   a bit of oil
   taco shells
   toppings: shredded lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, sour cream

Directions:

Rinse the lentils and drain them. In a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic together. Add the lentils and spices cook for a minute. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. Uncover and cook a few more minutes to thicken. Add the salsa.  

My variations:

I used one can of precooked lentils. I also added diced red bell pepper as well as ground dried red pepper flakes. I still used the same amount of chicken stock. 

I served mine with tortillas, mexican rice, cheese, salsa, and lettuce. The cumin really makes it pop and gives it that taco belly taste (yes I just said taco belly deal with it, ha)
