One night last week I made a version of lentil veggie soft tacos. This is a basic "go-to" meal that I make often bc it's easy, inexpensive and really nutritious. See this previous post about Taco Salad w/ Lentils or this one about Lentil Tostadas or this one about lentil tacos.
On this night, I rinsed one cup of lentils and poured them in a saucepan with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups of water. I threw in a couple heaping spoonfuls of homemade taco seasoning mix, brought it to a boil and then simmered for about 20-30 minutes, just until most of the water had been absorbed.
While the lentils were cooking I cut some large chunks of portabello mushrooms and green bell pepper and sauted them in a skillet just until they were soft, maybe about 10 minutes or so. I haven't made a batch of beans in a while so I had to use canned black beans (shameful, I know!) and I threw on some white cheddar cheese to complete the tacos. This dinner was fast and delicious!
