Course Main Courses
Cuisine Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • ½ c uncooked green lentils
  • ½ cup diced mushrooms of choice
  • ½ cup of walnut pieces
  • 4 minced garlic cloves
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 ½ tsp Hatch green chilis in a can
  • ½ can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 12 organic corn tortillas yellow works best
  • Optional dips:
  • Guacamole
  • Pico de gallo
  • Red or green salsas

Instructions
 

  • Cook lentils according to package instructions. (1/2 cup of uncooked lentils = 1 ½ cup cooked)
  • When lentils are just about done (about 20 minutes) add diced mushrooms and mix. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix remaining ingredients in another bowl.
  • Once lentils and mushrooms are cooked, add it to the other ingredients and thoroughly mix.
  • Place mixture in a food processor and pulse to desired consistency, 20-30 seconds typically is sufficient.
  • Pour back in the pan and heat on medium until thoroughly warms and thickens as water evaporates.
  • When done heat the tortillas in microwave, 2 at a time between 2 damp paper towels for 30 seconds.
  • Place about 2-3 TBS of “meat” in tortilla and roll.
  • Place in air fryer for desired crispness (just as the edges begin to brown). I use a Breville smart over on air fryer mode, 400 degrees for 6-7 minutes.
  • You can also bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes, keep a close eye on them though.
