What You’ll Need:

For the spiced lentils:

½ c lentils

1/4 c quinoa

1/8 c almond meal/flour

2 tbsp. ground flaxseed

1 Tbsp. Tamari

1 Tbsp. olive oil

Juice of 1 small lemon

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

pinch nutmeg

1/4 tsp chili powder

½ tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dijon mustard

OPTIONAL: 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

For the slaw:

1/2 cabbage, shredded OR 1/2 bag slaw mix, any variety

5oz container full fat, plain Greek yogurt

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 Tbsp honey

1/2 Tbsp dijon mustard

pinch of celery salt

1 Tbsp sesame seeds

For serving:

6 corn tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

fresh cilantro, chopped


Combine lentils & quinoa with 1 ½ c water & a drizzle of olive oil. Bring to a boil, and simmer until the water is absorbed. (About 15 minutes)

While everything cooks, mix remaining spiced lentil ingredients/spices in a large mixing bowl.

Then, prepare slaw by combining all ingredients in a medium bowl.

Add cooked lentils/quinoa to spiced lentil mixture, mix well.

*If you have a gas range: Set each tortilla directly on flame; 30 seconds each side to yield a perfectly crispy, chewy tortilla! You can do this in a large frying pan over an electric range, too!

Load up each tortilla with prepared slaw, spiced lentils, cilantro & avocado. You will be so glad you did!
