Lentils are one of those ingredients known as a "super food". They have been eaten for thousands of years, and are often used as a meat substitute. They're full of protein, amino acids, fiber, and minerals. In fact, Health magazine selected lentils as one of the 5 healthiest foods.
They're really good for you. And here's an easy way to get them into your diet. This can also work for a Meatless Monday idea -- for those of you familiar with that concept.(Stock photo)
You will boil the lentils and then add them to oil, diced onions, and green chilies. Then just add taco seasoning, and you're there!
Once you add all the usual taco accompaniments, you'll never know there isn't any meat in there. Just think of a bean burrito -- but even more hearty. I like to top it with lettuce, shredded cheese, green onions, black olives, hot sauce, and sour cream. It was filling, and totally satisfying. I was a bit skeptical at first. But it works.
