1 tsp olive oil
6 taco shells (store-bought or self-made)
1 onion
1 clove garlic
4 tbsp water
1 cup brown lentils, cooked (1 cup = 1 can 400g/14oz wet weight) (alternatively cook 100g dried lentils in veggie broth according to packet instructions)
6 tbsp salsa (store-bought or self-made)
2 tbsp fajita/burrito seasoning (store-bought or self-made)
1 ½ cups mixed salad
½ cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Dice the onions and garlic.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onion. Cook on medium heat until soft. Add a splash of hot water if they get too dry while frying.
Add the garlic and drained lentils and stir well.
Next, add the fajita seasoning and the
water. Keep stirring it well.
In the meantime, put the taco shells or wraps in the oven. They’ll just need 2-3 minutes to cook, but check packet instructions.
Wash the salad and tomatoes, then slice the tomatoes.
Cook the lentils until the water has evaporated – this won’t take long.

Layer lentils along the bottom. Next is the cheese and the optional nutritional yeast. Then comes the salsa followed by the salad and tomatoes. Enjoy!
