Spiced Lentil Tacos

* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 cup finely chopped onion
* 1 clove garlic, chopped
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup dried brown lentils, rinsed
* 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
* 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
* 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1/2 Tablespoon Chili Powder
* 3 diced jalapenos
* 8 taco shells
* 1 1/4 cups shredded lettuce
* 1 cup chopped tomato
* 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat (2 percent) cheddar

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion, garlic and salt until onion begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add lentils and seasonings. Cook until spices are fragrant and lentils are dry, about 1 minute. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Mix sour cream, chile and jalapenos in a bowl. Uncover lentils and cook until mixture thickens, 6 to 8 minutes. Mash with a rubber spatula. Spoon 1/4 cup lentil mixture into each taco shell. Top with 2 heaping teaspoons sour cream mixture, lettuce, tomato and cheese.

Number of Servings: 4
