    When you want to switch up Taco Tuesday, these Vegan Chipotle Lentil Rolled Tacos will do the trick. They are filled with my favorite Chipotle Lentil Taco "Meat" and served up with a super tasty vegan jalapeño ranch. Add your favorite toppings and chow down!

    How to make the filling

    The filling is one of my favorite TSV recipes - Chipotle Lentil Taco "Meat". It is super simple to make. Just cook down some red onion and chipotle peppers in a pan. Add cooked lentils, taco seasoning and a splash of broth. Give it a couple minutes to let all of the flavors combine, then take it off the heat.

    Lastly, add in a little vegan cream cheese. This will help everything stick together when you add it to the tortillas.

    How to assemble Vegan Chipotle Lentil Rolled Tacos

    The trick to making baked rolled tacos is heating the tortillas (I just pop them in the microwave for about a minute) and coating them in olive oil before assembling. This will make them more pliable and help to keep them from cracking. Don't worry if they do crack a little, they will still taste good!

    Add some of the lentil mixture to the center of each tortilla and wrap it up. Place the finished rolled tacos on a baking sheet (seam side down) and put them in the oven. Give them about 8 minutes before flipping them and letting the other side crisp up for another 5 minutes.

    How to serve Vegan Chipotle Lentil Rolled Tacos

    Once the rolled tacos are out of the oven, add all of your favorite toppings. I added shredded lettuce, pickled onions, cilantro and lime wedges. And, of course, served them with a side of that vegan jalapeño ranch - I could put that stuff on everything!

    If you have leftovers, pop them in the oven for 5-10 minutes to reheat and crisp up.

        Hi Sarah - you can definitely freeze them. I would bake them, let them cool and place in a freezer safe container. Reheat in the oven at 350 until hot or pop them in an air fryer if you have one!

      Made these tonight and both kids and my husband all loved them, the filling was delicious and they crisped right up in the oven. My youngest daughter has a cute little food account on instagram and wanted to take pictures and link your recipe. Thanks for another good one!
