Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups brown lentils (rinsed and picked over)
1 large diced white onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 jalapeño de-seeded (diced)
2 cans fire-roasted tomatoes
4 cups organic vegetable broth
2 packages vegan taco seasoning or use your own brew
1 package corn or flour tortillas (12 tortillas)
1/4 cup lime juice
Chili powder (sprinkled)
3 jalapeños (de-seeded and sliced)
Salsa of choice or hot sauce
Vegan sour cream
Instructions
In a pot, combine brown lentils, diced onion, minced garlic, jalapeño, fire-roasted tomatoes, vegetable broth, and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer until lentils are tender (about 20-25 minutes). Once cooked, drain any excess liquid if needed.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place a tortilla on a flat surface and add about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure it with toothpicks if necessary.
For air fryer: Arrange taquitos in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. For oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place taquitos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until crisp.
