I tried this last night and it was really good. Even my 12 yo ate it!!!! Now that has to be good!!!! She topped it with some cottage cheese and thought it was awesome.

1 tsp. olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 bell pepper, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 c. Water

1 1/4 c. lentils

1- 14 oz. Tomato sauce

1 package taco seasoning

1 c. cornbread mix (see recipe below or you could use 1/2 box Jiffy corn bread mix, but it will be higher in fat and sugar and lower in Fiber than the homemade mix)

1/2 c skim milk

2 T. egg substitute ( or egg whites)

2 c. grated mozzarella cheese

Heat oil in 3 qt pan over medium heat. Cook onion, bell pepper, and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in water, lentils, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 min. or until lentils are tender. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Mix cornbread mix, milk, egg substitute and cheese. Spoon lentil mixture into baking dish and spread cornbread topping evenly over the top( the cornbread mixture will be pretty thin layer). Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with shredded lettuce and salsa

Your welcome. I also made this and didn't put the cornbread on top and then used it for tacos. It was yummy!!! No meat tacos. Deanna

My parents first turned me on to Lentil Tacos...just seasoning and using the lentils in place of the meat. My kids love it too! I haven't thought of putting the corn bread on top though...will definately have to try it! Thanks :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
