In our weeklong quest to stuff all of the best food in a tortilla and call it a taco, we asked our friend Jenné Claiborne of Sweet Potato Soul to share with us her fav taco dish.
And boy did she deliver!
These Lentil Kale Tacos are the perfect healthy and delicious dish to make with all those pantry staples.
Check out Jenné’s recipe, and try some of our other taco creations.

Mango Guacamole
Place your cubed avocados, cubed mango, diced red onion, chopped cilantro and lime juice in a mortar and pestle.
Mash until your desired texture is reached.
If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, place the ingredients into a bowl, and mash with a fork.
Season to taste with sea salt.
Set aside.
Method
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
Add the diced tomatoes, and cook until they’ve lost their shape.
Stir in the lentils and kale.
Cook until kale is tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, and sea salt.
Season with more sea salt to taste if necessary.
Fill each tortilla with the lentil filling, then top with mango guacamole.
