Ingredients

Lentil filling:

1 c. dried black lentils

2 c. low sodium vegetable broth

1 canned chipotle chile, minced

3/4 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. coriander

1/2 tsp. Mexican oregano

1/2 c. salsa

Instructions

To make the lentil filling, place dried lentils, broth, chipotle chile, cumin, coriander, oregano and salsa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.  Reduce to a simmer and cook until the liquid is absorbed and lentils are tender, about 25 to 35 minutes.

 

While the lentils are cooking, prepare the mango pico de gallo.  Add the mango, red onion, serrano, garlic, cilantro and lime juice to a medium bowl.  Stir until combined.

 

Serve lentil filling with warm tortillas, mango de gallo, shredded cabbage, queso fresco and lime wedges.
