Taco de Poblano

Taco de Poblano is a flavorful vegan burger that combines roasted poblano peppers with spices and lentils, all nestled in a warm corn tortilla. Topped with fresh avocado and salsa, this dish offers a delightful twist on traditional tacos.

Ingredients

• Poblano peppers - 2 large
• Cooked lentils - 200 grams
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - a handful, chopped
• Salsa - for topping

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred.
3. Remove the peppers from the oven, cover them with a kitchen towel, and let them steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skin.
4. Once cooled, peel the skin off the peppers, remove the seeds, and chop them into small pieces.
5. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
6. Add the cooked lentils, roasted poblano peppers, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet for about 1 minute on each side until pliable.
8. Assemble the tacos by placing the lentil-poblano mixture onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and salsa.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Taco de Poblano!
