Step 1

Place the lentils into a small saucepan and cover them with a few inches of water.

Step 2

Place the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil.

Step 3

Lower the heat and allow the lentils to boil for about 20 minutes, until almost fully cooked but just a tad on the firm side.

Step 4

When the lentils have finished cooking, drain them into a colander.

Step 5

Coat the bottom of a medium skillet with the oil and place it over medium-high heat.

Step 6

When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook it for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and is just beginning to brown.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium, and add the garlic, cumin, ancho chile powder, oregano, and smoked paprika. Sauté the mixture for about 1 minute, until very fragrant.

Step 8

Stir in the tomato sauce and soy sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the lentils and continue to cook everything for 1-2 minutes longer, gently stirring the mixture. Be careful not to smash the lentils.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cilantro. Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11

Stuff the tortillas with the lentil filling and toppings of choice.

Step 12

Serve.
