Lentils and Tacos

No, not together... that might be a little weird, though I did see a recipe for Lentil Tacos.
Anyway, my apologies for not updating recently. Its been hectic around the house lately. So a few nights ago, I decided to finally do something with the large amount of lentils that I had in the cupboard. After scouring the internet for a recipe, I found Masir We't... an Ethiopian dish that is very vegan!
Although I didn't have the Gran Masala and turmeric spices that I needed, I found that pretty much any strong spice really does the job.
Lentils, like dried beans, take FOREVER to cook... this pot took over an hour of boiling, stirring, tasting, seasoning, and such until it was finally ready.
And, TADA! We have lentils! I added quite a bit of Sriracha to them so they were very spicy. From what I know about Middle Eastern and African cuisine, adding some yogurt cuts the spice pretty well... maybe ranch dressing would make a good substitute? I dunno, but what I do know is that it was delicious!


Tonight I made our usual tacos. But, I skipped the wrap... I haven't been a fan of bread in three years because of a camp job, so I was happy with my wrapless taco. :)

Happy eating, my friends!
