Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups brown lentils (8 ounces)
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning mix
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 8 to 12 whole grain or corn tortillas
  • Toppings of your choice: Lettuce, fresh tomatoes, shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, or vegan sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a medium sauce pan, bring 1 3/4 cups salted water to a boil. Add 1 1/4 cup lentils, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer covered for about 20 to 25 minutes, until most of the water has been absorbed.
  2. Mix the taco seasonings.
  3. Wash and chop the lettuce and fresh tomatoes, if using.
  4. Finely dice the red onion and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a skillet; add red onion and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute more.
  5. Turn off the heat and add the lentils. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and ketchup. Add more seasoning if desired. 
  6. Warm the tortillas. To serve, add lentils to a warmed tortilla and top with lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream. Fold and enjoy! Leftovers store up to 4 days refrigerated.
