Ingredients

• 8 pieces corn tortillas
• 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups cooked lentils
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 cup ground cornflakes (Gluten-Free)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1 cup lettuce, shredded
• 1 medium avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup vegan sour cream
• 1 medium lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked lentils and taco seasoning. Stir well to combine and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together the ground cornflakes, nutritional yeast, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4

Lightly brush the corn tortillas with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle each tortilla with the cornflake mixture evenly on both sides.

Step 5

Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are crispy and lightly golden.

Step 6

Remove the tortillas from the oven and immediately sprinkle vegan cheddar cheese evenly over each tortilla while they are still hot.

Step 7

Fill each cheesy tortilla with a couple of spoonfuls of the seasoned lentil mixture.

Step 8

Top each taco with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and a dollop of vegan sour cream.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
