This is so good. My beef/chicken/turkey loving family loves it as well. :)

Lentil Taco/Enchilada filling:

2 cups Green Lentils
Frontera Enchilada Sauce, Mild Red Chile
Chili Powder (salt-free)
Cumin
Olive oil
Kosher Salt

Rinse and cook Green Lentils according to package directions in water with 1 Tablespoon Olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt; just to al-dente (little less than done). Return to pan/pot.
Add Chili Powder and Cumin to taste (I usually add ~ 2 T Chili powder and 1 t Cumin.
Add Frontera Enchilada Sauce (or other sauce, it's forgiving) with a few T of water and simmer for 10 minutes.

Done!

I usually serve this with corn tortillas, roasted peppers, avocado and sour cream.

    Thanks! I eat lentils constantly because of the protein (18 g per cup). I'll try this out.
