Lentil And Potato Tacoburrito
Ingredients:
– 1 cup dried green lentils, rinsed
– 2 medium potatoes, diced
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 6 large flour tortillas
– Optional toppings: avocado, salsa, vegan sour cream, lime wedges, fresh cilantro
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, combine the rinsed lentils and enough water to cover them by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are cooked but still firm. Drain any excess water and set aside.
2. In a separate skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook until they start to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in the cooked lentils, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
6. To assemble the Tacoburritos, spoon a generous helping of the lentil and potato mixture onto each tortilla. Add your choice of toppings such as avocado, salsa, vegan sour cream, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to create a burrito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
8. Serve your Lentil and Potato Tacoburritos warm and enjoy the delicious flavors and textures in every bite.
