Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Lentil Tacos.
Step 1
Begin by warming canola oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Toss in finely chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring them together until the onion softens, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, introduce the rinsed lentils along with taco seasoning, allowing them to mingle for an additional minute to enhance the flavors.
Step 4
Pour in chicken broth and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 5
Once boiling, lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let it simmer gently until the lentils are tender, which will take around 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 6
When the lentils reach the perfect tenderness, remove the lid and let the mixture cook for another six to eight minutes, thickening beautifully.
Step 7
For a delightful texture, use a fork to mash some of the lentils, then fold in the salsa until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 8
To serve, generously spoon about a quarter cup of the savory lentil mixture into each taco shell and savor the deliciousness!.
