Equipment

  • Tortilla Press - Perfect for pressing lentil tacos shells or making homemade corn tortillas.

  • Non-stick Taco Shells Pans / Molds - Assist in baking tortilla shells and maintaining uniform shape.

  • High-Speed Blender - Useful for making spice mixes, hummus, or other dips that complement tacos.

  • Mandoline Slicer (Optional) - For vegetable preparation like jalapeno peppers if desired in the recipe.

  • Taco Shell Frying Pan / Skillet - Ideal for frying corn tortillas at home, though this might not be necessary as they can also be baked or pan-fried directly on stovetops.

  • Canning Jar (Optional) - Useful for preserving spices or lentil preparation if making large batches to store.

  • Digital Kitchen Scale - Ensures accurate measurement of ingredients, particularly useful when portioning recipes.

  • Storage Containers with Sealable Lids - For storing leftovers and keeping them fresh after cooking.

Instruction 1

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion, garlic and salt until onion begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add lentils and taco seasoning. Cook until spices are fragrant and lentils are dry, about 1 minute. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Mix sour cream, chile and adobo sauce in a bowl. Uncover lentils and cook until mixture thickens, 6 to 8 minutes. Mash with a rubber spatula. Spoon 1/4 cup lentil mixture into each taco shell. Top with 2 heaping teaspoons sour cream mixture, lettuce, tomato and cheese.
