Lentil Taco's

2 cups water

1 cup red lentils

1 Tbsp. taco seasoning

Combine above ingredients in a saucepan and cook uncovered for 20-30 min until water is absorbed and lentils are done.  

Add a couple large spoonfuls lentils to a heated sprouted corn tortilla shell and top with lettuce, tomatoes, olives, cheese, salsa, and anything else that sounds good on a taco. 

Serve with a side of rice and black beans.  Super delicious! 

I make these all the time, and my family loves them.  Everyone that I make them for is surprised how good they are and ask for the recipe.  Lentils are a great meat substitute and very healthy.  Great source of protein.
