Ingredients
SEASONED LENTILS
- 1 can lentils (14 oz can)
- 1 cup black beans
- ½ cup salsa (use your favorite variety)
- 1 ½ tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt or season to taste
TACO SALAD
- 3 cups finely chopped lettuce (romaine or fancy leaf lettuce)
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 ear of corn, cooked or 1/2 cup steamed kernels
- ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese (skip for vegan)
- ¼ cup guacamole
- ¼ cup sour cream (regular or vegan)
- tortilla chips for topping (I like to crush mine)
EXTRA TOPPINGS – CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITES!
- fresh chopped cilantro
- chopped green onion
- Pico de Gallo
- pickled red onions
- hot sauce and/or taco sauce
- Sliced Jalapenos
Instructions
- Drain and rinse lentils and black beans. Add to a small pan and add your favorite salsa. Season chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and salt. Heat on medium-low until beans are warmed through and spices are fragrant.
- Cayenne can be added for spicy lentils and smoked paprika or chipotle seasoning for some smoky flavor – play around with flavors and add any extra spices to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prep corn via desired method. I either boil an ear of corn and cut my kernels right off the cob or steam 1/2 cup or so of frozen kernels.
- Chop veggies and prep remaining toppings. Let the measurements above be a basic guide, as you can add as many veggies and toppings as you'd like!
- Divide lettuce and lentil mixture between two bowls.Top with fresh veggies all your favorite toppings and extras, saving the guacamole, sour cream, and tortilla chips for last. Enjoy!
