Yummy lentil tacos

I made yummy lentil tacos for supper tonight. Everyone liked them except Mollie because she doesn't like corn tortillas. I just rinsed the lentils and covered them with water. Add taco seasoning to taste and a can of tomato sauce. Bring to a boil and then simmer for an hour or until lentils are done. Lentils expand a lot so make sure you keep an eye on the water so they don't burn.
Cook your corn tortillas so they don't have that raw taste. Top with lentils, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and salsa. You can use any topping you want. The lentils are a good source of protein.
I figured the meal for all of us cost about $1.00. Not bad for 4 people.

I read somewhere you can cook the lentils the same way and add mustard, ketchup and Worcestershire or whatever you like to put in your sloppy joes. Top a bun and you're done.
