Lentil Won Ton Tacos

Lentil Won Ton Tacos are my healthy and creative spin on regular tacos.

Typically won ton wrappers are used to make wonton dumplings. I thought it would be fun to use them to make a healthy finger-food appetizer. 

Lentils are one of those foods I have a back and fourth relationship with. I feel like I go on a lentils kick, and then I almost forget about them for a while. Does that happen to anyone else with certain foods??

I would love to find a routine way to include them into my diet since they are so good for you. See, even dietitians struggle with finding balance in food too!

Lentils contain fiber, protein, potassium, folate and iron (just to name a few) and are a perfect plant based option for vegetarians or vegans.

For this recipe, I used green lentils simply because that is what I had on hand – but there are a variety of lentils and you can use any of them for these won ton tacos. 

Note on storage of lentils: I like to keep dry lentils in my cupboard on the shelf or just in a dry, dark, cool location. They have a shelf life for up to 1 year! If you have open bags of lentils laying around the house, I would transfer them into an airtight container to reserve the shelf life of them.
