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!

    Thanks!
