Instructions

1. Rinse lentils under cold water and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add water and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid, and cook until the lentils are just tender, 15 minutes.

   • 1 head butter (Boston) lettuce
3. Seed bell peppers, slice into thin strips. Peel, halve, and thinly slice onion.
   • 1 medium red onion
4. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat. Add onions, bell peppers, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 8 minutes.
   • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
   • ½ tsp salt
   • ¼ tsp black pepper
5. Quarter tomatoes and set aside.
6. Halve and pit the avocado; slice crosswise and then lengthwise to form cubes while still in the skin and scoop out with a spoon.
7. Shave the cilantro leaves off the stems; discard the stems and roughly chop the leaves. Set aside.
8. Finely chop walnuts and place in a medium bowl.
   • 1 cup walnuts
9. Peel and mince garlic; add to the bowl with the walnuts.
   • 2 cloves garlic
10. Add oil, water, and spices to the bowl.
    • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 tbsp water
    • 2 tsp chili powder
    • 1 tsp oregano
    • 1 tsp cumin
    • ½ tsp salt
11. Add the cooked lentils to the bowl and stir until well combined.
12. To make the crema, juice the lime into a small bowl; add mayo and whisk to combine.
    • ¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
13. Separate the lettuce into leaves. Pile leaves, in stacks of two per wrap, onto plates. Top with lentil taco "meat", veggies, cilantro, and crema. Enjoy!
