Description

The vegetarian equivalent to salsa chicken, these flavorful lentil are easy to throw together and versatile enough to use in tacos, burritos, grain bowls, or in a dip!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 red bell pepper, small diced
  • 1 medium onion, small diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups dried brown lentils
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 48 oz vegetable broth

For serving

  • tortillas
  • romaine lettuce shreds
  • guacamole
  • jalapenos

Instructions

  1. Layer ingredients in slow cooker in the order listed. Mix well.
  2. Set slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours (or high for 4-6). Stir once halfway through the time if you are nearby (but not necessary).
  3. Serve in tacos, burritos, brown rice bowls, or just by themselves! Top with favorite Mexican toppings. I prefer guacamole, lettuce shreds, and jalapenos.
  4. Enjoy!
