Spiced Lentil Tacos
The main course for the Mexican theme prepared by Michelle for the South Arm Older Adults Kitchen was Spiced Lentil Tacos.
Michelle shared with us that even his meat lover husband enjoys this. Lentil is a great protein substitute and is high in fiber.

- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
