This 15 minute easy peasy limey squeezy way to turn some humble lentil sprouts into the most amazing taco filling. 4 ingredients, some seasoning and splash of water and you have the quickest, healthiest taco filling in town.
Turning the heat off as soon as the lentils hit the pan helps heat them through while keeping those healthy enzymes and vitamins as intact as possible.
Pair with some guac, squeeze of lime and serve on a warmed corn tortilla for spicy taco heaven. These lentil sprouts were grown in our 1 litre sprouting jar using our legume lid>
