Instant Pot Lentil Tacos Recipe Video

Rinse and drain 1 pound of brown lentils in a mesh strainer to remove any debris or stones.

Add the rinsed lentils to the Instant Pot.

Add 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Mexican oregano, and salt to taste into the pot.

Pour in your favorite salsa and 4 cups of water.

Stir the mixture in the Instant Pot.

Seal the lid on the Instant Pot and ensure it's set to sealing.

Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes.

Once cooked, release the pressure and check the lentils for softness.

Stir the lentils to see if they are fully cooked and soft, noting they will thicken as they cool.

Heat up tortillas to assemble the tacos.

Spread the lentil filling on half of each tortilla.

Top with romaine lettuce, diced avocado, and diced tomatoes.

Squeeze lime juice over the tacos before serving.
