This lentil burrito bowl recipe is the best plant-based lunch!

Ingredients

• a few large handfuls of leafy greens, roughly chopped – I like romaine, arugula or spinach

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 1/4 cup chopped leek or red onion

• 1 large clove of garlic, minced

• 4 button mushrooms, sliced

• 1 can of brown lentils, rinsed

• Around 2 tbsp taco seasoning mix, I like the Simply Organic one or use a mix of cumin, paprika, chili powder and garlic powder

• Spices: a dash of smoked paprika, sea salt and black pepper

• 1 tomato, chopped into small cubes

• 1 red bell pepper, chopped into small cubes

• the juice of 1 lime

• 1 handful roughly chopped cilantro

• 1 avocado, halved and sliced

• a drizzle of tahini

Directions

• In a hot pan with the olive oil, sauté the leeks until fragrant and soft. Add the garlic, mushrooms, spices and the lentils and sauté for another few minutes.
• In two bowls, divide the greens and lentil mix evenly.
• In a small bowl, combine the tomato, bell pepper, lime and cilantro to make a “salsa”. Divide the salsa onto the two bowls and then add the avocado slices.
• Top with more salt and pepper and drizzle in tahini. Enjoy!
