How to Prepare Lentil Spinach Tacos [Vegan]

For the Slow Cooker Taco Filling:

Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir.
Set to 'high' level for three hours. In final hour and a half, reduce heat to low. Lentils and millet should absorb all of the water over this time. Add additional time if needed.
Give mixture a few turns with a spoon before serving.

For the Tacos:

Preheat the oven to 200°F and lay brown rice tortillas on a baking sheet. Toss them in the oven for about ten minutes while you compile everything else. They should start to brown a little bit. This is good!
Heat olive oil over medium in a skillet on the stovetop. Add spinach and sautee until wilted, about 2 minutes.
