I make tacos every Tuesday! They are fun with whatever is in the refrigerator – literally anything can be a taco. The most important part is the seasoning and so, I put together my own mix to have on hand because it is way easier than measuring each spice every time.
It’s all the usual suspects and then two surprises: chipotle powder for smokiness and cinnamon for that x factor, sort of sweet and sort of “what is that?” I recommend using 1/8 teaspoon each in your next batch of tacos to see if you like the mix and then adjust your mix accordingly!

Lentils are a great taco filler for any Taco Tuesday. Make the lentil “meat” and top them with whatever you love. Today, I topped these little corn tortillas with the lentils, crispy shredded Brussels sprouts, shredded purple cabbage and topped with Kite Hill ricotta cheese, fresh lime juice and a dollop of guacamole.
