  2. When ready to prepare meal, discard the water the lentils were soaked in and rinse.
  3. In a big pan or pot, heat up some olive oil. When sufficiently warmed, add in the onions and garlic. allow the onions to get translucent. Add in the carrots and red bell peppers and stir to evenly mix and coat. Last add in the lentils and again, mix it around to coat everything in oil.
  4. Per your taste buds and preference, add in the taco seasoning. Mix through. Add in enough water to just barely cover the lentils.
  5. Keep heat at medium low and allow to gently simmer until most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally. Check on the softness of the lentils, if it’s still got bite, add more water and cook for longer.
