Lentil Tacos

[Guest guest]

Hi Gang,

Been a bit out of the loop lately, health issues are taking their toll

however, my cooking still goes on. I am actually in Rehoboth Delaware staying

with my sister until I am better. They think I am from Mars when it comes to

my cooking but let me tell you, there are no leftovers, if they are, my sister

calls dibs to them for lunch the next day! LOL

 

I made lentil taco " meat " a very easy way. I used vegetarian " beef

boullion " , scallions and about a 1/4 tsp of hickory flavored powder to 1/2 lb of

green lentils. In addition I added Donnas taco seasoning as the lentils were

cooking. I left them cook so as to reduce the liquid down. I made this the

day

before. This evening, I placed about 1 TB of olive oil in the bottom of her

very well seasoned cast iron skillet, I dumped in the taco " meat " and left

it cook down, I allowed a crust to form on the bottom without it burning.

This took about 15 min. I also made a Mexican Barley side to go with it (will

post that later, it was EXCELLANT!). I served up the tacos with all the

sides. My EXTREMELY picky BIL did not know the " meat " was lentils. They all

loved it. I even made my own salsa, offered avocado, limes, raw onion,

tortilla

chips,yogurt, lettuce and tomatoes. It was a HUGE hit! I ate mine as a

version of nachos..tortilla chips on the bottom, everything else piled on top.

This recipe is a keeper!

 

Hope someone else can enjoy it too,
