Author: NutritionTwins.com
Serves: 4
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 2½ cups pre-cooked lentils (we used Trader Joe's Ready-to-Eat Steamed Lentils}
- ¼ cup water
- 8 whole grain corn tortillas, ideally organic or Non-GMO
- 1 avocado
- 1 large tomato
- Directions:
- Heat oil a large pan over medium-low heat. Once oil is warm, add cumin, chili powder and cayenne and stir until fragrant.
- Add lentils and water and stir. Season with cracked pepper. Allow mixture to heat over low heat to simmer for several minutes until heated through.
- Meanwhile slice avocado and tomato and place 2 tortillas on 4 plates.
- Add salt to the lentil mixture if using, and stir in. Adding it last will help you to need less salt.
- Add about ¼ cup of lentils in a row down the middle of each tortilla. Top with tomato and avocado. Flip the tortalla in half and serve, enjoy!
