Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup dry lentils (brown ones)
3/4 cup dry brown rice
4 cups water
4 beef bouillon cubes (or chicken, vegetable)
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Dump everything in a medium pot and bring to a boil.
  • Turn down the heat to a little lower than medium and cook covered (just like rice) until done. I usually stir every 5-6 minutes, but you probably don't need to once the spices are mixed!
  • Use just like regular taco filling.

I think these tacos would also be great for meal prep. You could make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat them during the week.

I served these tacos with a side of Mexican rice and black beans. It was a complete and satisfying meal.

I'm not a fan of corn tortillas, so I used whole wheat tortillas instead. They were just as delicious.

I used black lentils instead of brown lentils. They held their shape really well and added a nice smoky flavor to the tacos.

I'm allergic to avocados, so I substituted sour cream in the avocado crema. It turned out great!

I thought the recipe was a bit too complicated. I ended up simplifying it by using pre-cooked lentils and a store-bought taco sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tacos didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The lentils were still a bit crunchy, and the sauce was too watery.

I thought these tacos were just okay. The lentils were a bit bland, and the sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste. I also found that the tacos were a bit dry.
