Units
Scale
- 2/3 cup brown or green lentils
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2” cubes
- 1 small jalapeño, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Juice of one lime
- 8 corn or small flour tortillas
- Toppings, avocado, cilantro sauce, etc.
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 20-25 minutes.
-
While the lentils cook, heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fork-tender.
-
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, jalapeño, and garlic to the skillet. Stir in the smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Add the cooked lentils and stir to combine.
-
Remove from heat and squeeze lime juice over the top. Divide into tortillas and add any additional toppings you like.
