Lentil Tacos

Lentil Tacos
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 cup dried lentils, rinsed (I've used green, brown, red and dal orange and they are all fine, some just take longer to cook)
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup salsa (I've used red, green, homemade and storebought...anything works, whatever flavor you're in the mood for!)
In a large nonstick skillet, saute the onion and garlic in oil until
tender. Add the lentils, chili powder, cumin and oregano; cook and
stir for 1 minute. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and
simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Uncover;
cook for 6-8 minutes or until mixture is thickened. Mash lentils
slightly.
Stir in salsa. 
Spoon about 1/4 cup lentil mixture into each taco
shell. Top with lettuce, tomato, guacamole, cheese and sour cream, or add corn and grilled vegetables too!

Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.
