Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup dry lentils (brown ones)
3/4 cup dry brown rice
4 cups water
4 beef bouillon cubes (or chicken, vegetable)
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Dump everything in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
  • Turn down the heat to a little lower than medium and cook covered (just like rice) until done. I usually stir every 5-6 minutes, but you probably don't need to once the spices are mixed!
  • Use just like regular taco filling.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup dry green lentils
3/4 cup brown rice
4 cups beef broth
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients into a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to a medium-low heat and cook covered for approx 50 minutes stirring after 25 minutes Let stand 15 minutes. Rice and lentils should be tender.
  • What I like to do is put pot back on burner for a few minutes after it has sat and kind of mash lentils into the rice. This gives it a creamier texture. This can also be done when you are ready to reheat at a later time. Just reheat in pan and lentils will mash as you stir.

Tips:

  • Rinse the lentils thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris and prevent the lentils from becoming mushy.
  • Cook the lentils in a flavorful broth. This will help to infuse the lentils with flavor and make them more enjoyable to eat.
  • Don't overcook the lentils. Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of toppings for your lentil tacos. This will help to add flavor and texture to the tacos.
  • Serve the lentil tacos immediately. This will help to ensure that the tacos are fresh and delicious.

Conclusion:

Lentil tacos are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional tacos. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Lentil tacos are a great way to get your daily dose of protein, fiber, and iron. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious meal that is easy to make, lentil tacos are a great option.
