Total time: 
Serves: 8-10 taquitos
 
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups lentils
  • 3¼ cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 8-10 tortillas
  • Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
  1. Place lentils and 3 cups of vegetable broth in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, then cook until the liquid is almost gone. Cover and let the lentils absorb remaining liquid.
  2. Add salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin to lentils. Use a potato masher to mash lentils until mostly smooth. You want some texture in there too! Add the remaining ¼ cup of broth as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Spoon the lentil mixture into tortillas. Roll up the ends before tightly rolling and placing on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the taquitos with olive oil as well.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway between cooking.
  6. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and/or guacamole for dipping. Enjoy!
