Mom's Lentil Burritos

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Measure out 1 cup of lentils and rinse them well.

Put the rinsed lentils in a pot with 1 cup of chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer the lentils for about 20 minutes until tender but holding their shape.

While the lentils are cooking, slice the zucchini into smaller pieces and chop the peppers and onion.

In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the chopped vegetables until crisp-tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Add 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic to the vegetables and sauté until fragrant.

Once the lentils are done, drain them and add to the sautéed vegetables.

Stir in 1 cup of taco sauce and 4 oz of Monterey Jack cheese, heating through until the cheese melts.

To assemble, place some of the lentil mixture onto a flour tortilla and roll it up.

If desired, add a little sour cream on top before rolling.
