Lentil Tacos/Taco Salad

Okay, here's a great recipe that I "borrowed" from Deb Thayn (thanks Deb!) after Allena informed me that her tacos were better than mine.

1 cup lentils
1 package taco seasoning
Tortillas
Taco fixings

Cook lentils in water and taco seasoning.  You use 2x the water for the amount of lentils.  You can also add more water as needed until the cooking is complete.  Cook on medium low heat.  Serve in tortilla with taco fixings as preferred.

Because I'm a bread-aholic, I decided to adjust this recipe to make a taco salad instead of using the tortillas.  So, here's my recipe for a taco salad:

3 cups lettuce (cut/torn)
1 cup tomatoes
1/4 cup shredded cheese (a luxury item)
1/4 cup Corn & Black Bean Salsa
2 tbsp lite sour cream
1/3 cup lentil taco mix

Calories: 299

It's a very filling salad!  Enjoy!!!
