Easy Lentil Taco Dinner

I had a bunch of lentils and had no idea what to do with them.  I searched and searched and found a recipe for lentil taco’s.  We didn’t have all the ingredients so I made what I could with what I had and came out with this.  It is a favorite of mine as it is so simple and so cheap to make!
