Spiced Lentil Tacos (Vegetarian) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried brown lentils, rinsed
1 (2 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream or 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1/2 - 1 chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped (can omit and just serve with hot sauce)
2 teaspoons adobo sauce
8 taco shells
1 1/4 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (2 percent)

Preparation

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