I made this for dinner last night and it only took about 20 minutes. I thought it was such a tasty, healthy, easy weeknight idea that I needed to recreate it here. Happy cooking!
SWEET POTATO + LENTIL TACOS
makes enough filling for about 6 corn tortilla tacos
1/2 red onion (diced)
1 small sweet potato (diced with peel on)
1 (15 oz) can cooked lentils (drained and rinsed in a colander)
a handful of arugula (or any greens! cilantro, lettuce, spinach, chopped kale...)
1 avocado
hot sauce
corn tortillas (or flour if you prefer)
Sauté the diced onion and sweet potato with some olive oil, salt and pepper for about 10 minutes over med/low heat, until the potatoes are soft when poked with a fork. For the last minute, add the lentils, just to warm them. Spoon the mixture into warm tortillas (I use tongs and heat mine over an open stovetop flame). Top each taco with a pinch of arugula, a slice of avocado, a bit of hot sauce and a pinch of flaky salt.
I sautéed the sweet potatoes and onion in my favorite skillet for 10 min, then added lentils to warm them.
