Instructions

Cook lentils according to package directions and drain. (I simmer mine in a pot of water for 18-20 minutes or until tender, not mushy.)
Meanwhile, dice onion and mince garlic.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onion for about 7-8 minutes.
Once onion is translucent, add garlic and taco seasoning. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes.
Reduce heat. Add cooked lentils (drained) and black beans (rinsed and drained). Mash mixture and stir to combine.
Add salsa and vegetable broth. Stir and heat for about 5 minutes. Add more vegetable broth as necessary to keep it a creamy, moist consistency. Taste and add more salt or seasoning if desired.
Spoon mixture into a tortilla with toppings of choice.

Notes

Canned lentils: If you're short on time, you can use two 15 oz. cans lentils instead of cooking your own.
Other uses: The lentil & bean mixture is great on taco bowls, rice bowls, burritos, or nachos as well.
