Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • 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.
Cook beef
2
  • 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.
Cook lentils
3
  • 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.
Make salsa
4
  • 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.
Make lime crema
5
  • In small bowl, combine sour cream, lime zest and 1 1/2 tsp (3 tsp) water. Season with salt.
Heat tortillas and serve
6
  • 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.
