For dinner last night, I didn’t want to buy anything or work to hard on making something. I decided to use up what was in the fridge and make tacos. It was the perfect meal option for a buys night before we headed out for Cleveland and Chautauqua.
After school I did laundry and began the packing process (which is especially hard because I am in between so many clothes right now). Then I made this quick dinner.
Lentil Taco Meat:
- 1 c. dry lentils, cooked until tender
- 1/2 packet of taco seasoning
- 1/2 c.(ish) of water
- Cook lentils as directed. I cook mine by bringing them to a boil and then turning the heat down and letting them simmer until tender.
- Once lentils are cooked, add taco seasoning and a little bit of water. Heat lentils and seasoning and water is dissolved and lentils are a more sticky,pasty consistency.
- Serve in a taco or taco salad!
I love lentils! These taste great and make the perfect taco filling. I served them on a salad with a half of a whole grain tortilla on the side. I ended up wrapping the salad in the tortilla and ate the other half as well.
Brady had the same things but with chicken instead of lentils. The meal was a success as far as cleaning out our fridge too! We used up:
- romaine lettuce
- spinach
- avocado
- tomato
- end of a bag of roasted corn
- salsa
- can of black beans
After dinner, we ran to the hospital to see Jen’s baby! Jen and Duke are our good friends and we have been so excited about their baby! Remember when I had a shower for Jen back in September, I can’t believe her baby is already here! Here is an adorable picture of baby Hadley!
And one of Brady holding her! It won’t be long until her friend is here 🙂
