Vegan taco night is the best. Seriously.

Recipe for like 8-10 tacos (with leftover lentils):

1 cup dried black lentils, sorted and rinsed (you can also use lentils du puy/French green lentils, but I prefer the texture of the black lentils)

2 cups veggie broth

¼ minced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

several dashes each of cumin, coriander, chili powder, and ancho powder

dash of hot sauce

Sauté onions for a few min, then add garlic. Sauté another min, then add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, turn down heat, cover and simmer ~30 minutes until lentils are tender. Feel free to add whatever flavors you like (this time I added some chopped cilantro and diced jalapeño.)

When tender, drain if necessary (I didn’t). Taste and season with salt and pepper, and add a dash of lime juice (this is key, the acidity adds so much flavor)! Heat some tortillas, then top with whatever toppings you like. I used some vegan cheese (VioLife Cheddar), vegan sour cream (Tofutti), medium salsa, more finely minced onion, a little fresh hot pico with lots of jalapeño from my bodega, and additional hot sauce.

I’ve still got like 1-1.5 cups of the lentil mixture leftover, which I’m stoked for because it’s delicious on its own.

Vegan Pita Bread

(Recipe from spirituallythin)

Serving Size: 1 pita

Calories (full recipe): 515

Calories (one serving): 129 -172

Ingredients:

½ cup flour plus extra

¼ cup water

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

3/8 to ½ teaspoon olive oil (optional)

Steps:

Mix the flour, water, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a warm, damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.

Liberally flour your kitchen counter and empty the dough onto it. Roll the dough until it is completely covered in flour, then cut into 3 to 4 pieces.

Stretch each piece like pizza dough and cover in flour until they are all round, thin, and no longer sticky.

Heat 1/8 teaspoon of olive oil in a nonstick pan (you can use a non greased pan, but the bread will burn rather than caramelize, making it less tasty). Add the first round of dough and cook on high heat. Flip the bread once one side is covered in nice brown marks, and repeat on the other side.

Repeat with the rest of the dough and oil. Serve the bread warm or it will become tough and chewy.

Here I come with another wonderful recipe

365 calories for pasta with avocado, tomato, garlic and broccoli, almost 30 grams of protein, it’s vegan and quick to make

Broccoli is actually my attempt at eating more vegetables, ignore it or add it

Black soybean spaghetti (50 grams) – 160 calories (22.5 grams of protein!!!)

Tomato (1) – 25 calories

Avocado (½, ¼ will do, for half of the calories, mix in some zucchini to add volume) – 120

Garlic

Salt, black pepper, turmeric, oregano, basil
