Taco Lentils

Ingredients

• 1.5 onions, finely diced
• 2 green bell peppers finely diced

Instructions

1. In a very large skillet or roasting pan (I use my electric skillet) over medium high heat, add onions and bell pepper and sauté until soft and translucent.
2. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms have given up most of their moisture and the pan is practically dry.
3. Add cashews, olives, beans, and lentils.  Cook until cashews toast just a little
4. Add chipotle peppers, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce.  Stir to combine.  Taste for seasoning.  Turn off the heat.  Stir in nutritional yeast.
5. Try not to eat the filling all by itself.
6. Make tacos.
7. Eat tacos.
