Veggie Tacos:
All measurements are approximate.
Fry 1 large onion
cook 1 cup of dry lentils and drain
Add lentils to onion and 1 tsp of: cumin, chili powder, and salt
Add some tomatoes (canned tomatoes are good)
Simmer all that for a short time.
I get flat tortillas – 80 for $3
Each person gets 5 (which is ample) and freeze the rest.
Put tortillas on oven rack to toast at 200 degrees – 15 minutes or so.
I position them so that, down the middle, each tortilla is supported but the sides are not.
They are floppy to start and bend as they heat up, and they end up as a U shape to hold the stuff.
Make a “taco bar” with taco shells, chili, tomatoes, lettuce, salsa, cheese (if possible), etc.
Last week, I used leftover cholent (which had had meat) and added some lentils and spices. No cheese possible.
The kids liked making their own tacos their way. I like how they ate their veggies on the tacos, but they don’t eat salad. Marketing !
