Enchilada Lentil Tacos with Lime Slaw

"These Enchilada Lentil Tacos have incredible depth of flavour! The lentils are cooked in a spicy enchilada sauce on the stove or in the slow cooker, then tucked inside tacos & topped with zesty lime slaw. The saucy lentils are also great for enchiladas, burritos, quesadillas or just served on rice. We have all kinds of things going on in this recipe. Protein packed green lentils are simmered slowly in a rich and flavourful enchilada sauce then topped with a tangy lime slaw. The slaw adds texture and a zip of citrus flavour, not to mention some pretty in pink decoration. The flavour combination is like a party in your mouth."

Since you can use the slow cooker to prepare the lentils, this is a great meal for busy weeknights when you want to come home to something full of flavor but not a lot of fat. This would be a great thing to top blue corn tortilla chips with for a lightened up game day treat!
