I do this but I use less liquid so its not soup, more of a mush. I don't use the chili powder and I have left out or added things based on preferance and what I have on hand.

Lentil Enchiladas are amazing.

Use this recipe for the lentil base, then roll in tortillas & top with 1.5 cups (or 1 can) enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 350 for 30 mins or until bubbly.

ETA: I double the lentil recipe & freeze 1 portion. Once thawed, it's super fast to throw the enchiladas together. You could also assemble the enchiladas, then freeze, but I've never done that.

Sloppy Joes made with lentils instead of meat!

You can also make lentil loaf (instead of meatloaf), or mash cooked lentils and add to your meat for meatloaf to stretch it.

lentils with taco seasoning makes good tacos or use it to make tamale pie
