Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can brown or green lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8-10 taco shells or small tortillas

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Stir in the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, and tomato paste. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the lentils are heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Warm taco shells or tortillas according to package directions.
  6. Spoon the lentil mixture into the taco shells. Add your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier taco, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can also add other vegetables like corn or bell peppers to the lentil mixture.
  • Serve with your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
