Ingredients
1/4 cup vegetable broth
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno, sliced & seeded
1 package Trader Joes Steamed Lentils
1 can Muir Glen Fire Roasted Petite Diced Tomatoes in Chipotle Sauce
1/2 cup water, divided
1 fresh tomato, chopped
1 can green chili, diced
1 can pinto beans, rinsed
1/3 cup Noble Alchemy’s home-made taco seasoning (*link to recipe below)
For serving
Mixed greens, organic corn taco shells, or organic corn tortilla chips
Top with your choice of diced fresh tomato, cilantro, lime juice, avocado, sliced radishes, nutritional yeast *see cooks note, or plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Heat ¼ cup vegetable broth in a large skillet over high heat. Add onion, pepper and jalapeno and cook till limp.
Crumble one package Trader Joes Steamed Lentils in the onion/pepper mixture and stir.
Add canned tomatoes (use about ¼ cup water swirled in the can and dumped into the pan to get all the seasonings out of the can), fresh tomato, canned green chili, canned pinto beans and stir.
Add 1/3 cup taco seasoning and ¼ cup water and let simmer about 10 minutes over medium heat.
Serve on a bed of greens, in an organic corn taco shell or with organic corn tortilla chips and top with chopped fresh tomato, cilantro, avocado, radishes and/or nutritional yeast (about ¼ tsp).
*Cooks Note: The nutritional yeast gives this dish a big boost of B vitamins and gives it a cheesy flavor if you can’t live without that taste of cheese.
