How to Make Lentil Tacos! An Easy, Healthy Taco Recipe!

Add 1/4 cup of water to a medium saucepan.

Add a 10 ounce can of diced tomatoes with green chilies to the saucepan.

Add an 8 ounce can of tomato sauce to the saucepan.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of chili powder.

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin.

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste).

Add about 1/8 teaspoon of fresh ground pepper (eyeball it).

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring to combine.

Once boiling, add 1 cup of sorted, rinsed, and drained lentils to the saucepan and stir.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the saucepan with a lid.

Simmer the lentils for about 35 minutes or until they reach your desired softness, adding more water if the mixture becomes dry before the lentils are soft.

Once the lentil mixture is done, assemble the tacos by adding about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the lentil filling to taco shells.

Add toppings of your choice to the tacos.
