Did someone say Tacos!? This one is super yummy and features on our budget meal prep Youtube video (along with some other tasty and budget friendly meals)! Head over to our Youtube channel 'MoreLife UK' if you haven't already 😀

Ingredients
12 small wholemeal tortillas
2 cans green lentils
¾ cup walnuts
1 vegetable stock cube or 2 tsp
bouillon powder
½ tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp chilli powder
1 tbsp cumin powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp oregano
2 large or 3 medium ripe avocados
½ red onion
1 lime, juiced
½ red or green chilli
A small handful of cherry tomatoes,
chopped
Salt and pepper
½ cup cashews
¼ cup boiling water

Recipe 👇👇

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees.
2. In a saucepan, sauté the onion in a little oil until they become
translucent, after a couple of minutes add the garlic and cook for
a further 1-2 minutes. Next add the walnuts and sauté for a few
minutes until lightly toasted. Then add the spices and tomato
puree until well combined. Finally add the cans of cooked lentils
to the mix and stir through until well mixed. Set aside and use a
fork to mash the lentils to create a ‘meatier’ texture.
3. For the guacamole, mash the avocado, then add the remaining
ingredients and stir to combine.
4. For the cashew cream, add the ingredients to a bowl and allow
the cashews to soften for around 10 minutes. Then blend until
smooth. Set aside.
5. Now its time to assemble your tacos. Add the lentil mixture to
each wholemeal tortilla, fold in half and lay flat on a cooking tray,
add to the oven for around 5 minutes until lightly browned and
crispy, turning halfway. Keep a close eye to make sure they don’t
burn. Once cooked, top with guacamole and cashew sauce.
Enjoy!
