Lentil Tacos

I made lentil tacos Wednesday night that were absolutely out of this world AMAZING!  My family had the idea for me to post recipes on the blog of some of the food I make.  That way, my adoring fans (lol! *wink*) can try them out! You will have to bear with me because I don't measure my seasonings, and usually I just throw things together.  The measurements of the seasonings in this recipe are a guess.  You will have to adjust as you see fit.

Sauté:

1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
Olive oil

Add to onion and pepper mix:

1 cup brown lentils
2 1/2 cups beef broth

1 clove garlic, pressed/minced

a pinch of salt and pepper

Cover and simmer 25-30 minutes. (Older lentils take longer, or so I've heard)

Add to lentil mix:

2 cups thawed corn
1 can rinsed black beans
1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/8 tsp chipotle powder

1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1/2 lime

Taste and adjust seasonings.

Top with:

Sautéed mushrooms
Shredded cabbage (we used green and purple)
Sour cream
Avocado
Tomato
SHARP Cheddar cheese (this REALLY makes a huge difference)
Green onions

I use fresh corn tortillas cooked in a little olive oil and then sprinkled with salt.  They really are DIVINE!!! My awesome friends taught me that.  This recipe makes a ton!  We actually had enough to use for dinner Thursday night.  Used the leftovers for a lentil taco salad.  That was yummy too! The girls LOVED these. Reed is still getting used to this new lifestyle. I guess I'm going to have to take pictures of my food too.  These made up were really quite beautiful. Enjoy everyone!
