Description

These Big Mac Smashed Lentil Tacos are a wholesome Whole Food Plant Based nod to the culinary buzz of TikTok’s Smashed Big Mac Tacos.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 2 – [ 14.5 oz. cans ] brown lentils, drained, rinsed
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium tamari *
  • 1 Tablespoon water (+/-)

Spice/Herb Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon dried ground mustard powder
  • Pinch to 1 teaspoon sea salt (+/-) *
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper (+/-)

Other Ingredients:


Instructions

  1. Place all the Base Ingredients and Spice/Herb Ingredients into a food processor and process off and on just until thoroughly mixed and the lentils are slightly broken down into a paste-like mixture. Do not over process.
  2. Take a flour tortilla and lay it on a flat surface. Scoop up ¼ cup (up to 1/3 cup – largely dependent upon the size of the tortilla) of the lentil mixture, then lay it onto on half of the flour tortilla and press the mixture to the edges of half of the tortilla, then fold over in half, slightly press together to seal. Repeat until all the tortillas are filled and folded.
  3. Place a large skillet onto the stove over medium heat, then lay several of the folded tortillas down onto the hot skillet. Heat until the tortillas are golden brown and the inside filling is hot (approx. 3 to 4 minutes), then gently flip over to the other side. Heat until the other side is golden brown (approx. 2 to 3 minutes). Remove and place on a plate. Continue until all the filled and folded tortillas have been browned in the skillet on both sides.
  4. Serve with Vegan Big Mac Burger Dressing, add some chopped pickles and shredded lettuce.
