Sadly I have never cooked with lentils in my life. But apparently they are one of the "superfoods."
After picking up some pre cooked lentils from Trader Joe's I decided I needed to do something with them. They had just been sitting in my fridge. You can also buy them dried; they cook pretty quickly.
So I decided to use them in place of taco meat (turkey, beef). I dumped them in a pan, heated them up and added some salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, chili powder and some shredded Mexican Cheese. I made some homemade tortillas to go along with it and you guys, this dinner was DELISH! Lentils are really flavorful and when cooked they are tender and add a great texture. I put some tomatoes, bit of cilantro, avocado and spinach leaves in the "burritos" and it was yummy. Definitely going to be buying those lentils again!
