Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 cup cooked brown lentils
  • 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1.5 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 4 ounce tomato sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crushed red pepper (optional)
  • Your favorite taco fixings

Instructions
 

  • If your quinoa and lentils are cold, warm them up in the microwave or on the stove until heated through. (This step takes about 2-3 minutes and helps the flavors meld better.)
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, lentils, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and tomato sauce. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a little heat, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper.
  • Assemble your tacos by spooning the quinoa and lentil mixture into tortillas and adding your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa.

Notes

Feel free to customize your tacos with any additional toppings you enjoy! For a creamier texture, consider adding avocado or a dollop of sour cream.
