Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked lentils
- Nonstick olive oil spray
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped peppers (a mixture of bell peppers & jalapeño if more heat is desired)
- 1/2 cup of vegan cheese
- 1/2 cup diced grape tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8 six-inch high fiber tortillas or lettuce leaves
- Optional: Avocado, Cilantro, Salsa
Instructions
- Prepare lentils according to package directions.
- Add onions, garlic, peppers & cheese to a large sauté pan lightly coated with olive oil over medium heat. Saute for about 3-5 minutes or until onions begin to soften.
- When the onions have softened, add tomatoes, lentils & spices. Continue to saute over medium heat for another 3-5 minutes, until spices are evenly distributed throughout the lentil mixture.
- To assemble tacos: Heat tortillas on a dry pan for about a minute on each side. Fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup lentil taco meat & dress with desired toppings -- avocado, salsa, cilantro, etc. Alternatively you can use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
