It’s always the same, a couple of hours after you get home from the grocery store, you decide it’s time to eat that avocado. But it’s not ‘ripe and ready to eat’ as the packaging claims, it’s rock solid. Then you ruin it just trying to cut the thing. So, you reach for the mango instead.

The tasty, high-protein filling in these crazy-easy vegan lentil tacos consists of just two ingredients — lentils and bold-flavored chipotle salsa.
Use canned or cooked lentil, as you prefer. Then, all you need are a few traditional toppings, and you’ve got a fun meal in minutes. If you’d like, you can serve with store-bought or homemade guacamole and some extra salsa or picante sauce.
Since the tacos are your protein and salad all in one neat (or maybe messy) package, if you’d like a larger meal, consider adding baked or microwaved potatoes or sweet potatoes.
