Introduction

tacos tacos
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 cup dry brown lentils (by SLOLOSER)
    0.5 cup Ancient Harvest Traditional Whole Grain Quinoa, 1 serving =.25 cup dry
    4 cup Vegetable Broth
    4 clove Garlic
    2 tsp Chili powder
    1 tsp Paprika
    1 tbsp Cumin seed
    1 cup Diced Tomatos (by AMYLCROY)
    1 cup, chopped Onions, raw

Directions

1. Add all the ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Before serving, season to taste with salt and pepper (or other spices).
2. Serve with fresh salsa, avocado and a squeeze of lime. We love this over a bed of greens.
My notes:
1. Add half a diced onion, and saute before adding to the crockpot (saute with the garlic for 2 minutes before transferring) -- add spices in last 60 seconds to warm them up.
2. Add a healthy dollop of cumin (about 1 tsp?)
3. Add a can of diced tomatoes for more nutrition.
