1 lb. ground beef (80/20)

1  1/2  c.  finely chopped onions

2  c. cooked brown lentils

2  t.  beef or chicken bullion

1- 8oz. can tomato sauce, adds color

2-3 T. taco seasoning, or 2 packages taco seasoning (1.25oz.)

Some crushed red peppers for spice

Some water if too thick

Brown ground beef with onions.  Drain some of the fat, leave some to flavor the lentils.  Add all other ingredients.  Reduce heat. Taste it.  Add some things 'till it tastes like you want taco meat to taste. 

Serve as soft tacos, on flour tortillas or corn tortillas.  Serve on taco salad or in enchiladas. 
Make it in bulk, it freezes well.
