Ingredients

  • 5 tortillas
  • 400 gram canned lentils
  • 200 gram grated or thinly sliced carrots
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 gloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 3 tbsp ketjap manis
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder optional
  • 100 ml water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Toppings

  • 150 gram corn, canned
  • 1 avocado
  • 100 gram sliced cabbage
  • chipotle or hot sauce optional

Instructions

  • Heat some oil in a pan on medium heat, and add the carrots. Bake for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Drain the lentils and add them to the pan, together with minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, ketjap and water. Give a good stir and put on medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally, and if it cooks dry, add a splash of water.
  • While that's cooking, shred the cabbage and dice the avocado.
  • When the taco filling is cooked (the carrots will be really soft), add the sugar and salt, and give a good stir. Fill the tacos with the lentil-carrot filling, corn, avocado and cabbage. Add some hot sauce of chipotle if you like!
