Dana Lawson
"This is my health-oriented twist to my Aunt Linda's recipe. Lentils add fiber and protein without fat and without compromising the taste! For additional texture, sprinkle in some crushed corn chips."

- Place lentils and water in a pot. Bring water to boil, reduce to simmer. Cook for 30 minutes or until tender.

I have been making a very similar recipe for taco salad for 30 years. The only thing I do differently is no lentils and add cheddar cheese. It is a summer favorite in our home.
