Step 1

In large pot with a lid, sauté diced onion in oil until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and jalapeño and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add carrots, diced tomato and seasonings (except salt). Sauté 5-8 minutes until tomatoes start to break down. Deglaze the pot a bit with vinegar.

Step 3

Add lentils and 3 cups water. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer until water evaporates and lentils are soft (20-25 minutes). Add a little more water if necessary to keep it from sticking and then add salt.

Step 4

Let cool briefly (otherwise it will wilt your lettuce wraps right away!)

Step 5

Serve on sturdy lettuce or cabbage leaves with sliced avocado and fresh lime.
