Easy Lentil Tacos

A while ago, my sister-in-law asked me for my lentil taco recipe.  I had to reply that I didn't have one!  I've attempted lentil tacos in the past, but was never thrilled with the results.  Maybe it was the taco seasoning I was using or maybe I wasn't used to the texture of lentils yet...I'm not sure what the reason was.  But I decided it was time to give lentil tacos another try.  There's nothing complicated about this recipe, but it was every bit as satisfying and delicious as if I had used meat.  We really love this recipe--we've used it in taco salad and nachos, too!--and I'm glad I finally have a lentil taco recipe I can share!

2/3 cup dried brown lentils, sorted
1 tablespoon taco seasoning, more to taste
1 2/3 cup vegetable broth

2) Pour broth into skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
