Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine brown lentils, vegetable broth, diced onion, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, and fire-roasted tomatoes.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are tender (about 20 minutes).
  3. Stir in vegan taco seasoning.
  4. Preheat your air fryer or oven according to manufacturer instructions.
  5. Take one tortilla at a time; add a spoonful of lentil filling along one edge.
  6. Roll tightly to form a taquito shape and place seam-side down on a baking sheet or air fryer basket.
  7. If using an air fryer, cook at 375°F for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. If using an oven, bake at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes until crispy.
  8. Once cooked, remove from the air fryer or oven. Serve immediately with salsa, jalapeño slices, lime juice drizzle, and vegan sour cream on the side.
