Lentil Tacos

From Laura Sawaya

1 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon oil
1 cup dried lentils, rinsed
1 Tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup salsa
12 taco shells
shredded lettuce
shredded cheese
sour cream
chopped tomatoes
whatever else you like on your tacos!!

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 or until the lentils are tender.  Uncover; cook for 6-8 minutes or until mixture is thickened.  Mash lentils slightly.

2.  Stir in salsa or just add to tacos.  Either way works well.

3.  Spoon about 1/4 cup lentil mixture into each taco shell.  Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream and whatever else you like!
