Instructions
Cook the Lentils
Combine rinsed lentils with 2 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil then simmer over medium-low heat until tender and water is absorbed, about 18 to 20 minutes.
Prepare the Walnut Crumble
Pulse walnuts in a food processor until they resemble a coarse crumble. Do not over-process or they will become a paste. Combine with cooked lentils in a skillet.
Season the Filling
Add cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to the lentil walnut mixture. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Warm the Tortillas
Heat tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds per side until warm and slightly charred at the edges.
Assemble and Serve
Spoon filling onto warm tortillas. Top with mashed avocado, pico de gallo, and shredded red cabbage. Finish with an extra squeeze of lime and serve immediately.
