How to Prepare Double Decker Lentil Tacos [Vegan]

Saute the onion in a large skillet with oil and garlic until tender (5-7 minutes) over medium-high heat.
Add lentils, taco seasoning, cumin and oregano. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
Add vegetable broth, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
While lentils are cooking, mash avocado with a squirt or two of lime juice and sea salt and nutritional yeast to taste. Set aside.
Wrap soft tortillas in foil and place in the oven or toaster oven for 5-10 minutes while lentils are cooking. Also heat crunchy shells in the oven for the last few minutes.
Uncover lentils and cook for an additional 5 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir in nutritional yeast during the last minute or two. The lentils will thicken a bit as they cool.
To prepare tacos, spread 1-2 T of guacamole on each tortilla, break a taco shell in half and lay flat. Spread lentils on one side, then top with lettuce, tomato, cheese and salsa. Fold sides together and enjoy!
