Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Using a strainer, rinse lentils until water runs clear.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Core, then finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
- Peel, then finely chop shallot.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add beef, shallots and half the jalapeños. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) sugar. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until beef is lightly caramelized. Season with salt.
- Remove from heat.
- Transfer to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- To the same pan, add Chili-Cumin Spice Blend, lentils and 1 3/4 cups (3 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
- Zest, then juice lime.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook for 10-15 min, stirring often, until lentils soften. (NOTE: If lentils are still dry, add 1/4 cup water at a time.) Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) pepper.
- Stir in half the lime juice.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop cilantro.
- In a large bowl, whisk together remaining lime juice, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add tomatoes, cilantro and remaining jalapeños, then toss to coat.
- In small bowl, combine sour cream, lime zest and 1 1/2 tsp (3 tsp) water. Season with salt.
- Just before serving, wrap tortillas in paper towels.
- Microwave for 30 sec-1 min, until tortillas are warm and flexible. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas!)
- Divide tortillas between plates. Top with lentils, beef mixture and pico de gallo.
- Dollop lime crema over top.
