These are quite possibly the best tacos ever. The filling’s creamy and flavorful, the whole-wheat tortillas are soft and fluffy, and the toppings– roasted red peppers and salsa– take them from simply superb to simply sublime. But here’s the most wonderful part: these tacos are absolutely fat-free. Yep, that’s right. There’s not one drop of gooey, dripping, waist-clutching fat in this dish, and yet it’s so delicious and so filling that your tummy– after eating just one– will be sending signals to your reluctant brain that it’s quite full. But will you want to stop eating? I can’t guarantee that. Lentils are so, so good for you (especially in dishes like these tacos and this lentil soup), loaded as they are with protein and fiber. I calculated the nutrition information for you and believe it or not, there are just 160 calories in each of these tacos (minus the toppings which are just veggies and therefore fat-free and very low-calorie and good for you.) There are also nearly 9 grams of protein and fiber in each taco. Now how incredible is that? I am going to leave you with the recipe now because I have an incredibly busy Sunday afternoon ahead, but I couldn’t wait to post these for you in case you were trying to think of great recipe ideas for Cinco de Mayo.
