Ingredients

• Vegetable oil, for stove-top method
• 1 onion, diced
• 2cups dried green or brown lentils, sorted and rinsed
• 2 1/2 Tbsp. taco seasoning
• 2 to 6 cups warm vegetable broth, depending on cooking method
• Warm corn or flour tortillas
• Desired toppings such as cilantro, diced tomatoes, crumbled cheese, sliced avocado and/ or salsa

Directions

1. To prepare on the stove-top: Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion until it softens and begins to brown, about 6 minutes. Add lentils and taco seasoning. Cook until spices are fragrant and lentils are dry, about 1 minute. Add 4 cups of the vegetable broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, adding more broth as necessary until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover lentil and cook until mixture thickens, 6 to 8 minutes.
2. To prepare in a slow cooker: In a 4-quart slow cooker, combine the onion, lentils, taco seasoning and 2 cups vegetable broth. Stir well to combine. Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours or high for about 3 hours, or until lentils are tender, but not falling apart.
3. Serve stuffed into warmed tortillas with desired toppings.
