Description

Vegan taco salad dish that takes 30 minutes to make! No packaged taco seasoning here! All whole ingredients that are packed with flavour and nutrients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dry lentils
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano leaves {optional}
  • 2 handfuls of tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup salsa {I like Neal Brothers Mild Salsa}
  • 2 handfuls of leafy green mixture {spinach, baby kale – your choice!}
  • 1 avocado, cut into chunks {without skin and seed of course!}
  • Cherry tomatoes {optional}
  • 1/4 cup green onion, chopped {for garnish}

Instructions

  1. Begin by adding the lentils to a medium sauce pan with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil
  2. Once water is boiling bring it down to a simmer and add cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and oregano. Cover the sauce pan with a lid for about 20 minutes until the water is gone and the lentils have softened.
  3. In a frying pan with the olive oil add the mushrooms and red bell peppers and sauté on medium heat for about 15 minutes
  4. Once those are both done cooking, place tortilla chips on a plate topped with cooked lentils, sautéed mushrooms and red bell peppers, salsa, handful of leafy greens, avocado, cherry tomatoes and green onion.
  5. Enjoy!!
