TASTY LENTIL TACOS
When my husband's cholesterol numbers rose, I quickly lowered the fat in our family's diet. Finding dishes that were healthy for him and yummy for our five children was a challenge, but this fun taco recipe was a huge hit with everyone. -Michelle Thomas, Bangor, Maine

FAMILY FAVE LENTIL TACOS
After loosely trying various recipes, this is the combination that worked for my family. It is spicy enough for dh abut not so blazing that the kids won't eat it. THE PICKY ONE had 5 tacos!! Dh's comment, "you've made this a few times before but this one I LIKE." You can use vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian or use chicken or beef. You can use a can of diced tomatoes (regular or Rotel) instead of taco sauce or salsa but it will take a bit longer to cook because of the added liquid. This made enough for our family of 4 to have 3-4 tacos each with just a little bit left over.

LENTIL TACOS
I developed this recipe when raising four children on a limited budget. My family likes this better than meat tacos. It has been a hit with guests as well. Anyone who likes lentils will enjoy this variation.

Steps:
- Cook lentils with the garlic and minced onions, according to package directions until they are the consistency of refried beans.
- I use less water and add as I need it so I do not have to drain any water.
- Add packaged taco seasoning or fresh salsa and salt and pepper.
- The consistency should be thick.
- Warm tortillas.
- Add a spoon of lentil mixture, and your favorite garnishes.
- Serve and enjoy.
- I like to do a taco bar and let everyone make their own.
