This recipe features spiced lentils cooked with curry powder and combined with fresh mango for a unique taco filling. The preparation takes about 30 minutes and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 cup dried lentils (green or brown), rinsed
2 cups vegetable broth or water
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ripe mango, diced
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped cilantro for garnish
Sliced avocado for serving (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Lentils: In a pot, combine lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
Add Spices: Stir in curry powder and cook for another minute. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine: Once lentils are cooked, drain any excess liquid and add them to the skillet with the onion mixture. Stir in diced mango and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Warm Tortillas: In a separate pan, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble Tacos: Spoon the lentil and mango mixture onto each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro and avocado, if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos with lime wedges on the side.
