Lentil–Quinoa Tacos

Step 1

Rinse the lentils and combine them with 2 cups (480 ml) of water in a pot. Rinse the quinoa and, in a separate pot from the lentils, combine them with 2 cups of water. Bring each to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the water is absorbed. Set the quinoa aside.

Step 2

Rinse the cooked lentils under cold water, then add them to a food processor and pulse to create a “meaty” texture.

Step 3

Sauté the onion and garlic in a splash of water in a pan and cook until soft, fragrant, and slightly translucent.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Stir together until well combined. If needed, reheat the mixture to desired temperature.

Step 5

Serve the lentil–quinoa mixture as desired, on corn tortillas or atop chopped greens, and with your favorite fixings.
