Ingredients:

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic

2/3 c. dried lentils (any color)

1 Tbs. taco seasoning 

1 2/3 c. chicken broth

2 sweet potatoes

2/3 c. salsa

tortillas

For the toppings:

1 c. cherry tomatoes

1/2 c. chopped cilantro

lime juice and honey (to taste)

1 avocado

Feta cheese

arugula (or other mixed greens, but if you really want your tacos to be amazing, use arugula 

Directions:

Saute the onion and garlic in a pot with a little oil for a little bit until softened (about five minutes). Then add the dried lentils and taco seasoning, stir together for a minute and then add the chicken broth.

Bring this mixture to a boil, then cover and turn down the heat and let simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop up the sweet potatoes into bite-size pieces, coat them with a little bit of olive oil and 2 tsp. more taco seasoning. Roast in the oven at 400 for about twenty minutes (until they’re slightly browned). 

Dice up the cherry tomatoes and mix them up with the cilantro, some lime juice and a drizzle of honey. Then chop up everything else so people can top their tacos with whatever they like most.

When the lentils are done, mix in the salsa, and then they’re ready to use for your base.
