Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups cooked lentils
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 cup ground cornflakes (Gluten-Free)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup vegan sour cream
- 1 medium lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked lentils and taco seasoning. Stir well to combine and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix together the ground cornflakes, nutritional yeast, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Lightly brush the corn tortillas with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle each tortilla with the cornflake mixture evenly on both sides.
Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are crispy and lightly golden.
Remove the tortillas from the oven and immediately sprinkle vegan cheddar cheese evenly over each tortilla while they are still hot.
Fill each cheesy tortilla with a couple of spoonfuls of the seasoned lentil mixture.
Top each taco with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and a dollop of vegan sour cream.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
