This recipe sort of came up as an accident. I was cooking red lentils for myself and I realized that I cooked them to a taco-like texture. I added some taco seasonings and Red Lentil Tacos were born.
Lentils are so easy to cook. You don't need to soak them like other beans and they cook extremely quickly.
Step 1. Add 3 cups of water to a medium pot. Stir in the lentils and bring to a simmer. Let cook for 8-9 minutes. When the lentils are tender, drain.
Red lentils cook quicker than green or brown lentils, so watch them carefully towards the end to ensure you don't end up with a bunch of mush. To make these taco-like make sure there are still some intact beans.
Step 2. Gently mix the spices into the lentils. Serve with your favorite non-dairy taco fixings! Enjoy!
God, thank you for a healthy alternative to traditional tacos. Thank you for giving us flavorful, plant-based food to fuel us. Amen.
