Lentil Tacos with Avocado Cilantro Sauce
This Lentil Tacos with Avocado Cilantro Sauce recipe from Lentils.org has the familiar flavour and texture of tacos, but is completely plant-based. I love that red lentil are packed with heart-healthy fibre and plant-based protein, and you’ll love how quickly they cook!
To make these Lentil Tacos, you’ll first sauté onions and garlic in a pan until browned, then add spices and cook for another minute. You’ll then add the red lentils and broth, and simmer until liquid has absorbed. Meanwhile, you’ll prepare the avocado sauce by combining the ingredients in a small food processor until smooth.
Once lentils have cooked, you’ll assemble the tacos with lentil filling, sauce, and toppings. Yum!
