Lentil Tacos

Lentil Tacos
  • Spice Mix:
  • 2 teaspoons ground ancho chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground fennel seed
  • Filling:
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked brown or green lentils
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
  • 2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
  • adobo or hot sauce (optional)
  • Tacos:
  • 8 (6 inch) vegan corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges


  1. Combine ancho chile powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and fennel in a small bowl.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add spice mixture and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 30 seconds.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add lentils, tomato paste, a few splashes of water, and chipotle peppers. Cook, mashing lightly with a fork and adding water if necessary, until lentils are heated through and hold together, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt if needed and adobo or hot sauce.
  4. Lightly toast tortillas in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Spread about 1/3 cup filling down center of each tortilla. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve with guacamole and lime wedges.
