📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup green/brown lentils*
• 15 oz. can black beans
• 1 small yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning (or more)
• 1/3 cup salsa
• 1/2 cup vegetable broth
• 8 corn tortillas (or other tortilla)
• Tomato, lettuce, red onion, sweet corn, vegan cheese, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, etc.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cook lentils according to package directions and drain. (I simmer mine in a pot of water for 18-20 minutes or until tender, not mushy.)
2. 2While the lentils are cooking, finely dice the onion.
3. 3In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onion for about 7-8 minutes. (I use about 3 Tbsp. water for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
4. 4Meanwhile, mince the garlic.
5. 5Once onion is translucent, add garlic and taco seasoning. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes.
6. 6Reduce the heat to medium. Add the cooked lentils (drained) and black beans (rinsed and drained). Mash the mixture with a potato masher to desired consistency.
7. 7Add the salsa and vegetable broth. Stir and heat for about 7-8 minutes uncovered or until slightly thickened. (Add a splash more vegetable broth if needed for a moist texture.) Taste and add salt or seasoning if desired.
8. 8Spoon the mixture into warmed tortillas and finish with toppings of choice.
