Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown lentils, rinsed
1 (2.25-ounce) package taco seasoning
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, finely chopped (use half for less heat), and 2 teaspoons adobo sauce
8 taco shells
1 1/4 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup chopped ripe tomato
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat (2 percent) Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, garlic, and salt until the onion begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lentils and taco seasoning. Cook until the spices are fragrant and lentils are dry, about 1 minute. Add the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Mix the sour cream, chile, and adobo sauce in a bowl. Uncover the lentils and cook until mixture thickens, 6 to 8 minutes, then mash with a rubber spatula.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup lentil mixture into each taco shell. Top with 2 heaping teaspoons sour cream mixture, the lettuce, tomato, and cheese.

These tacos were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but these tacos were surprisingly good! The spices really helped to mask the flavor of the lentils. The avocado crema was also a nice touch.
