It’s Taco Tuesday so what more appropriate meal to try than vegetarian tacos! The lentil “meat” in this was AMAZING. I barely could tell it wasn’t meat, and it was super filling.
Vegetarian Taco with Lentils Recipe
Ingredients
- Corn tortillas
- cooking oil of some kind (I used olive, but vegetable is sometimes better)
- 1 tomato, minced or chopped
- 1/2 white onion, minced
- a few olives, sliced
- 3/4 cup lentils (I used green lentils for this recipe)
- 1/4 cup white cooking wine
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can refried beans
- hot sauce of some kind ( I used sriracha)
- a few tablespoons of greek yoghurt
- Salsa
- 1/4 lime
- salt
Directions
- Prepare lentils by combining lentils, white wine, water and black pepper in saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 30-35 minutes until most of the water is absorbed. About halfway through cooking the lentils, stir the cumin in. When the lentils are complete, add some salt to taste.
- Prepare corn tortillas in a bit of hot oil
- prepare refried beans according to directions on can
- Spoon lentils into bottom of tortilla, adding toppings (olives, onion, tomato, salsa, and shredded cheese)
- Squeeze lime juice on top and top with hot sauce and greek yoghurt (in lieu of sour cream)
- Serve and enjoy!
