Lentil Stuffed Peppers

To make the lentil taco meat: Cook 1 cup of lentils in 3-4 cups of water according to package instructions (about 20-25 minutes). While the lentils are almost done, sauté 1/2 a diced onion in olive oil for 5 minutes. Then add 1 cup of the cooked lentils, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp chipotle powder, 1 tsp chili powder, and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup salsa. Mash about half of the lentils and let it simmer for a few minutes until all of the water is absorbed.

For the peppers: Cut them in half, deseed them, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes. Then, add the lentil taco meat and some cheese on some, if desired. Bake for another 5 minutes. Enjoy!
