Chef notes

This recipe always takes under 30 minutes, so if you haven't meal prepped or want a quick dinner, it's the recipe for you. It's very nutritious and filling.

Technique tip: Use a fork to mash the guacamole in a bowl.

Swap option: If you don't like to use oil, you can use water to sauté.

Equipment needed: Mortar and pestle

Ingredients

Mango Guacamole
  • 2 ripe avocados, cubed
  • cups cubed ripe mango
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Tacos
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed or coconut oil, for sautéing
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 2 cups cooked lentils
  • 4-6 cups torn kale leaves or baby kale
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 8-12 small tortillas, warmed

Preparation

For the mango guacamole:

Place the guacamole ingredients in a mortar and mash until your desired texture is reached. I like mine with some chunks in it. Set aside.

For the tacos:

1.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2.

Add the tomatoes and cook until they've lost their shape.

3.

Stir in the lentils and kale. Cook until kale is tender, about 5 minutes.

4.

Stir in the seasonings, and season with more sea salt, to taste.

5.

Fill each tortilla with the lentil filling, then top with mango guacamole.
