| 1. In a medium saucepan stir together water, lentils, onion, cilantro, salt, garlic and spices. | 2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 25-30 minutes until lentils are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. | 3. Using a fork or a blender, depending on the texture you prefer, mash the cooked lentils. | 4. Meanwhile, spray the top side of 4 corn tortillas and put them under the broiler until they are toasted and puffy, only a minute or less. Turn them, spray the other side and toast it. Remove from oven. | 5. Spread the lentil mixture on the crunchy tortillas, top with vegetables and cheese. Return to baking sheet and broil 3-4 inches from the heat about 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. | 6. Serve immediately to hungry diners. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
