Ingredients
- 1 1/2 can (15 ounce) lentils (black or brown, I use a mixture of both)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
How to Make
-
Step 1: Rinse and drain lentils, then warm in a pan over medium heat.
-
Step 2: As they warm, add seasonings, cornstarch, and water.
-
Step 3: Continue warming, stirring very frequently, until mixture comes to a boil. It will thicken very quickly at this point.
-
Step 4: When the mixture is thick, use as you would any taco filling for tacos, burritos, or taco salad.
