Don't want / have mock-meat? Try Lentils instead with this easy recipe!
1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed and sorted
3 tsp vegetable bouillon
3 cups water
olive oil
½ onion, diced
2 tbsp taco seasoning
1 cup lettuce finely chopped
½ cup tomatoes diced small
¼ cup red onion diced small
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup nacho cheese sauce (link ours)
tortilla chips, as needed
In a small saucepan add lentils, 3 cups of water and bouillon, and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Drain and reserve excess liquid. Set lentils aside.
In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add onion and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Add taco seasoning and ¼ cup of the reserved cooking liquid, and lentils, and stir to combine. Cook for another 10 minutes, or until tender.
To Assemble:
In batches, heat large tortillas in the microwave and heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add ΒΌ cup of lentils to the center of each tortilla, and top with cheese sauce, tortilla chips, lettuce, and tomato.
Gently but tightly fold the edges of the large tortilla toward the center, creating pleats.
Quickly invert, so the folded seam side is down, and cook until golden, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side.
