Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2/3 cup brown or green lentils
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2” cubes
- 1 small jalapeño, minced
- 3 cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Juice of one lime
- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- 2 medium avocados, sliced
- Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium heat. Add the lentils, cover, and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and the lentils are just tender but not falling apart – about 12-15 minutes.
- In a large, heavy bottom pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring regularly, until the sweet potatoes are just soft.
- Add the lentils with any remaining broth, minced garlic and jalapeño, and spices. Cook for 5-10 minutes over medium, stirring frequently. Add a splash of water as needed if the mixture feels too dry.
- Once the spices are fragrant and everything is cooked through, remove from the heat and squeeze a little lime juice on top.
- Place 1/3 cup of filling into each tortilla and top with 2-3 slices of avocado and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
