Ingredients

For the mini taco shells
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • cooking oil
For the lentil taco filling
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1 can (14oz/400g) green lentils drained and rinsed
To serve
  • grated carrot
  • sliced red cabbage
  • parsley

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Method
  2. Preheat the oven to 180C.
  3. Use a circular cookie cutter to cut as many small rounds out of the tortillas as you can fit.
  4. Use a brush (or cooking oil spray) to lightly grease the underside of a muffin tray. Place the tortilla rounds between the cups of the upturned tray to form taco shapes, then bake in the oven for 5 minutes or until they begin to turn golden. Allow them to cool in the tray and they will firm up a bit.
Meanwhile, make the filling.

  2. Add the soy sauce, oregano, paprika and lentils and stir well. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often.
To serve
