Method
 

How to Make Vegan Taquitos
  1. Prepare Tortillas: Heat your corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until they're pliable, which ensures easy rolling.
  2. Cook Filling: Sauté the diced onion, garlic, and jalapeño in a pan using vegetable broth instead of oil. Stir in the brown lentils, broth, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
  3. Assemble Taquitos: Take a warm tortilla, spoon about 4 tablespoons of the lentil filling onto one side, and roll it up tightly.
  4. Season and Cook: Brush your taquitos with lime juice and sprinkle with chili powder.
  5. Cooking Methods: Air fry at 400°F for 7-10 minutes until golden or bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes.
