Ingredients

For taco filling

  • 1 cup lentils
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large onion minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For taco assembly

  • 12 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 1 cup chopped red onion
  • 3 cups shredded lettuce
  • Any other American-style or Mexican-style toppings your heart desires

Instructions

  1. Add all taco filling ingredients to your slow cooker except for salt and pepper. Cook on high about 2 hours or until lentils and quinoa are tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Assemble tacos. I’ve used shredded lettuce and diced red onion to add color and crunch, but use any toppings you’d like. For “American style” tacos, add lettuce, tomato, and cheese. For “Mexican style” add diced onion, cilantro, and lime.
