Vegan Lentil Tacos

So yummy gobbled them up, even the kids devoured them
Thank You Skinny Bitch Ultimate Cookbook.
I used a bundt pan (6 small) to shape my tacos shells like mini taco salads.

found in Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook.


Full Recipe: 

4 Cups water
1Cup dried green lentils (I used tan, that's all they had a target)
2 tbl diced white onion
2 tbl of olive oil ( I used just a sprinkle)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbl tomato paste ( I forgot to buy this and I had made spaghetti the day before, so I used this sauce)

2/3 cup diced cherry tomatoes
2 tbl spoon red chopped onion
1 garlic clove
1/4 tsp of jalapeno pepper 
3 tsp lime or lemon juice
1 tbl chopped cilantro
(Yep, I took a short cut, bought already made pico de gallo)

Corn tortillas
1 Avocado ( I have 100 cal pack wholly Guacamole, we used 2 packets)
Shredded Lettuce ( I used sweet butter)

In med saucepan, bring water to boil, high heat. Add lentils and chopped onion. Return to boil, then reduce heat. Simmer till soft, 30-40 mins.  Drain excess water and place half of the lentils in food processor to puree, drizzle in oil and season with salt and pepper. Return to pan mix with tomato paste and remaining lentils. 
I used her variation method for tortillas:
warm tortillas in micro 30 secs.  Put in muffin tin to make bowls( I used mini bundt cake pan).  Bake 10 mins at 350.

On Tortilla, spread lentil mix. Then top with lettuce, pico, and Avocado. Yummy.
