10 Minute Lentil Taco Bowls

I'm inspired by Tina's recent posts about lentils to share something I made a couple of weeks ago: Lentil "Taco" Bowls.

This made a very fast dinner. It really took me all of ten minutes to make, thanks to a package of Trader Joe's Steamed Lentils. The longest part is just waiting for the lentils to simmer with the taco spices. It's also great reheated and very easy to pack for lunch the next day.

Build the bowl however you want - I used brown rice, but feel free to use quinoa or even polenta. Top with your favorite veggies, cheese, or whatever floats your boat!

10 Minute Lentil Taco Bowl
1 package of Trader Joe's Steamed Lentils  - or - 2 1/2 cups cooked lentils
2 Tbls homemade taco seasoning or 1 taco seasoning packet
1 cup of water

Place the lentils in a medium sized saucepan with taco seasoning and water over medium high heat. Bring the mixture up to a hard simmer and then turn down to simmer. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10 minutes until the lentils are heated through and spices are absorbed. Serve 1/2 cup of lentil mixture over 1/2 cup brown rice. Top with veggies and fat free greek yogurt. Enjoy!
