  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • ¾ yellow pepper, diced (any color will work)

  • While that's cooking, chop your vegetables.
  • Remove from heat. Drain the lentils but reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
  • Into a skillet, add 3 tablespoon of the cooking liquid over medium heat.
  • Once bubbling, add the onions and peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn.
  • Add in the garlic, cherry tomatoes, taco seasoning, oregano and garlic powder.
  • If you need more cooking liquid add a few more tablespoons here. Let cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add in the lentils and spinach. Stir often until spinach has completely wilted.
