Taco Boats

mini tortillas

280 g extra firm tofu

black beans

tomato sauce

¼ tsp smoked paprika

cumin

¼ tsp chilli powder

Salt and pepper

tbsp chopped yellow onion

red bell pepper

vegan cheese shreds

romaine lettuce

tomato

kalamata olives

Lime Juice

Sriracha

First, prepare your taco meat. Crumble your tofu and black beans into a pan and cook over medium heat until the tofu is slightly browned.

Once the tofu has browned, add the tomato sauce and spices, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.

In the meantime, slice up your lettuce, onions, red pepper, and tomato for easy assembly.

Cut your mini tortillas halfway to the center, then fold the flaps over one another to make a ‘boat.’

Place the tortillas in your muffin tray.

Divide the tofu black bean mixture into your tortillas, followed by some onions, bell pepper, and vegan cheese.

Bake at 350f for 8-10 minutes until the tortillas are slightly golden and crispy.

Once the taco boats have baked, top with shredded lettuce, tomato, kalamata olives, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and some sriracha mayo for heat.

This lentil taco meat recipe is a smoky, saucy, and protein-packed vegetarian alternative to ground beef. It’s made with ready-to-eat beluga lentils simmered in a rich chipotle tomato sauce and is absolutely perfect for using in tacos or quesadillas.
