Lentil and Veggie Tacos with Avocado Lime Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the brown lentils under cold water. In a pot, combine the lentils with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water.

2. 2

   While the lentils cook, dice the bell pepper and red onion. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the vegetables until soft, about 5-6 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the lentils and black beans to the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for another 5 minutes, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.

4. 4

   For the avocado lime sauce, mash the avocado in a bowl. Stir in the juice of one lime, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

5. 5

   Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

6. 6

   Assemble the tacos by spooning the lentil and veggie mixture onto each tortilla. Drizzle with avocado lime sauce and serve immediately.
