I really appreciate the added education you give in your videos. Your tips about techniques and equipment and tool maintenance are priceless and very helpful.
I just wanted to come back here and say, I made these. I am not vegetarian or vegan. I made them for my adult daughter/SIL and 15 and 10 yr old grandkids. Everyone loved them and raved over them. Probably the best tacos I ever made.
@@MotherOfOwlbears what’s wrong with a culinary suggestion? I happen think it is tasty and would complement the recipe. 🫣. So you hate on people that eat real dairy…….got it 👍
@@Jajajshsb I don’t enjoy highly processed foods designed to mimic another food. If there is no medical reason to change out those ingredients, why not try the real thing? Other than the fake cheese this looks like a must try for me. Unlike many other vegan recipes I have seen. Hating on people for enjoying cheese makes me think you miss it too. I am not anti vegan or I wouldn’t considered the recipe in the first place. I know some vegans I would like to cook for but I won’t be buying the fake cheese. But I would make this for anyone. Looks good What is your goal since you’re on some kind of your way mission? Wipe cows off the face of the earth? Have no relationship with them at all. Allow them to wander aimlessly starving like India?
@@Jajajshsb What Are you talking about? All I see is you calling me unethical. Explained nothing. People that refuse to eat anything dairy are fine by me as long as I am allowed to. If your reason is because it came from a cow and cruel I have to ask ……in your perfect world what is to become of cows? We turn them all loose and let them roam free starving like in India? Or maybe we should get rid of the beast emissions ruining our ozone? 🫤🤔 What bee is in your bonnet? Sheezzz
Hey Derek! New follower here from Texas! As a hunter my entire life animal protein made up a majority of my diet , but my wife and I are on day 3 of our journey to eating plant based and these tacos were a huge hit! Your videos helped us see that we don’t have to give up flavor and quality to make the switch. Trying your simple meat cheat sandwich tonight!
That’s amazing! The great thing about eating plant-based (besides helping the environment, etc) is all the interesting ways you can find plant-based alternatives.
The fact that you considered people that cook with no oil just made me subscribe, thank you for having that in mind. Many vegan recipes don't and it's always a wonder wether it will work without oil or not
I'm just glad to see that in not the only one eating lentil tacos in the morning! I do mine a little different, but it's mostly the same. I don't mix the cheese into the lentils directly. Instead, I do a bed of cheese and add the lentils on top so it's more like a quesadilla. I also like adding some red enchilada sauce to the base. That being said, anyone who hasn't had this recipe is missing out!
If you haven't tried it before I'd also suggest grilling the cheese on the outside of the tortilla (though TBH I'm not sure if vegan cheese would work the same as Tillamook cheddar).
I don't believe there's a better vegan/plant based chef on the Internet. Honestly so so good. Easy to follow, quick and more importantly just simple ingredients.
Things that I love about being vegan. I have all of these things in my home and I am flat broke! We get the most beautiful, great tasting food out of being cheap as hell and I love it! It’s so hard to think that people say being vegan is expensive, it is anything but! Thanks to amazing people like you. We get to not only be healthy but eat some of the best foods on the planet.
Most vegans I know are flat broke many of the ones I know are on disability with severe depression. So a flat broke vegan is not uncommon. Two vegan chefs I knew committed suicide.
I was a Vegan for a few years and vegan is only expensive if you try to get replica meat products. Beans, rice, most vegetables are inexpensive. It's when you want Mock this and Impossible that is when the prices start to rise.
I tried this and it was a smashing success. Works for any meal of the day, I had dinner from start to finish in 20 minutes. Fantastic stuff, please make more like this!
I watched this video on UA-cam in bed this morning on their recommendation. I got up and made the darn thing (to my surprise I had almost everything needed). Oh - my - gosh - soooooo delicious!
This was the first vegan recipe I ever tried, and it led me to look for more -- and also to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for introducing me to the world of plant-based cooking.
Thank you for these videos! I have in the last year or so developed a really bad allergy to dairy, and your videos are almost always (if not always) dairy free and they are so nice and easy to follow. Thank you for all the videos and sharing your passion
Thank you, Derek! I'm a huge mexican food fanatic, committed to a vegan diet for health reasons. I'm always looking for innovative ways to prepare it. This is exactly the type of dish I'm looking for. Looks really delicious! 😀
I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, but this was incredibly good for being meatless. I couldn’t find plum tomatoes, so I just got a can of whole tomatoes. They didn’t crush/dissolve too well into the meal, so I blended some bigger bits and some lentils after cooking and it thickened everything up nicely. Thanks for the recipe
I‘m not completely vegetarian, but I enjoy vegetarian meals. I replace hamburger in my tacos with kidney beans. I fry them a bit in olive oil and then I mash them, add some water and taco seasoning. It‘s a great yummy bean paste and then I add my toppings. Delicious!
Thank you I've been making this recipe 3 times a week .I make a big batch and put in a big xl mason jar, I use it in taco's, make soup, chilli with vegan cheese on top. It's so economical.😊
What vegan cheese do you like to use?? Geez I'm always so blown away reading comments on food videos bc people are always so creative! I don't have the creative cooking genes sadly. But it always helps when fine people like yourself share tips and ideas with the rest of us in the comments!
Looks delicious! I’ve been cutting down my meat consumption by adding quinoa and beans to it to lower the amount of beef. I’m ready to go full vegan on some of my dishes now. Retraining 62 year old taste buds and cooking habits. This channel is helping a LOT in that process.
Fantastic! I made this tonight for my carnivore sister. She said "Better than meat!!!" Keep these amazing recipes coming! Love watching those knife skills!
this is the only channel where I am drooling while watching!!! love this and going to make this over the weekend! thanks for sharing and I love Frankie's eagerness to taste what her daddy is cooking!!
I made the smash tacos and the two salsas and it was sooo good! (This is a high compliment coming from a Mexican American) I especially liked the salsa with the cascabel chiles. Great way to showcase the complex flavor of those chiles. I will be making the rice and beans next. I'm excited I found your channel, the food is BOLD. I absolutely love it! Cheers!
Back again - we made this, and then we made it again! It’s great and so easily modifiable, can’t believe we’d never thought to use wraps like this. Thanks again! 🙏
I'm not a vegan, but I love lentils . I'm going to make them, however there will be a lot more spicy peppers added and some hot salsa to dip. Always looking for more ways to add good protein !!
😮wow, I bought cumin from our internet shop, because cumin is not commonly used in cooking here😅🇨🇳and tried this recipe yesterday, and it tastes like eating meat! especially when you fry the taco not that crispy. Chef Derek Sarno is like a magician in cooking! Thx, chef Sarno.
I was just wondering what to make for dinner today, and this seems perfect!!! I'm not vegan, but it's nice to have vegetarian/vegan options for meatless days. Thank you 😊
As always, you have excellent recipes that are easy to replicate. I am more grateful for the tips and techniques you mention on your videos while making the dish. I agree on the sharpest knife being the best knife, othjerwise there is no joy in cooking! What I learnt form you is to keep cleaning as you go, and after adopting this, I feel immensely satisfied at each of my cooking sessions, so, thank you!🙏
I scrolled passed this for a couple of days and then paid more attention. My daughter is vegetarian and we eat a lot of lentils. This one will definitely be in our rotation. I do a black bean concoction similar which we put in a burrito. Thanks for such a great explanation and demo.
Just made this today (lentil mix this morning) for dinner. It was FANTASTIC! We've been eating vegan for a week and I am not creative. This was amazing. I'll be going through every video you have now 😊 THANK YOU!
Oh wow, this is my second find of a vegan cooking channel in one day, that has no music - what joy!!! Thank you so much - I’m one of those people who cope cope with loud, pumping, shouty music that gets turned up and down frantically all the time someone is talking. It makes me feel nauseous and I have to mute the sound, but it gets lonely living in silence 😢 Anyway, new subscriber here, because your voice is soothing and gentle plus the sound of chopping and cooking is meditative. And a bonus is seeing your lovely Labrador 😊 Bless you - looking forward to some more ❤❤❤
Never thought about lentils in tacos!!! Made them today and my family loved them!!!! Thanks Chef!!! Very inspiring dish and definitely a keeper for us!
This is such a beautiful dish. The voice was so easy to listen to, wish he could read me bedtime stories. I have added this to my list of dishes to try this month. I just subscribed, glad I stumbled across this channel.
Cool recipe! Tip on spices: I usually toast my spices whole and add powders to a liquid only, towards the end of the cooking process, so as to preserve the more fragile aromas of spices in powder form (they also tend to burn really quick in hot oil).
Thank you for this recipe! My freezer is filled with smash tacos. I also made chili just by adding more water and a packet of washingtons vegan brown broth.
Made this last night. Wow! I’m my house, I’m the one going mostly plant based, but everyone including the kids loved them. There’s way more depth of flavor than meat. Definitely going into the dinner rotation.
yum, Smash tacos were a hit at our home! The pico had too much lime in it though. My intuition was to put one lime, but I followed your recipe exact- It over took the pico. We added more tomato etc and fixed it up...Thanks for the succinct non chatty video. I appreciate brevity and getting to the point with cooking videos!
Not personally vegan but I love to get greens and other vegetables as much as possible, and I do try to expand my horizons as much as possible. Only seen a few of your videos but your stuff looks genuinely incredible, and I really fancy trying this one especially.
Thank you sooo much for this delish recipe🙏. I make a green salad with lettuce, cucumber spring onion and avo, squeeze of lime and light drizzle of sesame oil and a handful of crushed tortilla chips, tastes really delish. Ps your knife skills are mesmerising. Thanks Gale x
cutting board maintenance tips? what are you using to wipe down? best cutting blocks? im so satisfied by the cutting/wipe down clips in this video hehe
I made them last night. So so so good. The flavor was so intense, i usually can't get my spices to work like that! I'll be toasting spices left and right. thank you.
These are outstanding, made them multiple times already a firm favourite in our house! Really good for camping too if you prepare everything first, super easy to heat up.
This was my favorite video for Wicked Kitchen so far, the educational element and the east to watch point of view were excellent!! Keep doing what you're doing, and thank you!!
if you use a waterstone a lot, it can help to get one of the lapping/grinding stone they sell to re-flatten them. They're designed to wear down some, and if you favor certain parts of the stone, they can cup or get grooved
I just made it and it was delicious! I just added some more tortilla chips the next day right before cooking to add some crispy. 👌 Thank you very much for sharing. Merci beaucoup !
I love that you show yourself stuffing your face with the tacos at the end!! Much more relateable than channels where they take one delicate little bite. I'm going to try to persuade my meat eating husband to make a batch of this, as it seems like they'd made a nice easy lunch while we're on school holidays and with 40 degree heat anticipated next week (where I am). THanks!
Oh you can see me stuff my face even more in the new ones LOL. These believe it or not are great pre-done and cold, esp when it's hot out. Thanks for watching.
Frankie is wearing a babushka! Also a slang term for Polish/Russian old woman.🙂 I've found that I must make myself something to eat while watching your videos 'cause they make me hungry! So good! What you've made here is more along the lines of a quesadilla as opposed to a taco. A distinction that will make a difference in a Mexican restaurant/community when ordering food. You lost me at the vegan cheese most of which are made with oils, often highly saturated coconut oil. Yech! But what one can do is replace the 'cheese' with a thick humous. It's not quite the same and doesn't turn gooey which is the best part of any cheese, but if one cares about their coronary arteries it's an acceptable substitution. Add a little nutritional yeast to the humous and you get sort of close. I also like to make quesadillas in my old George Foreman hamburger grill or you can use a pannini press as well. I've now finished eating my grilled multi-grain sourdough toast topped with smashed&flavored tofu, avocado, spicing, lemon juice, chopped cilantro. yum! Nice having breakfast with you!
DUDE! This recipe looks fantastic! What are your thoughts on pan dry-roasting the spices? That was a suggestion from someone from SE Asia, so that's how I've been doing it. Also, I cannot tell you enough, how awesome it is to have someone making tasty, spice filled vegan and PBNO food, I see a lot of people making WFPB-NO things with very little spice flair and it saddens me.
You. Thank you, we love watching you and appreciate all that you've gone through and done. Love these so much! I made the pico tooooooo hot but it was all still fantastic. xoxo love to Frankie.
I'm so glad I found you! Thank you❤. I have been a vegetarian for 50+ years and eat a lot of vegan meals but never made the total switch because for me it's difficult to afford all the great products out there now. I also at my age have osteopenia and somehow have to add to my diet a little more umph so I don't break into pieces. ❤
I'm a carnivore trying to lessen my meat consumption, so I did a vegetarian variant on this with full-milk cheese and sour cream, and they were phenomenal! If you happen to have them on hand, I recommend mixing cayenne, New Mexico Chile and ancho in place of just 2 straight tablespoons of chili powder; it gives the lentil mash mixture a bit more depth. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Looks fantastic! I will make this tomorrow for my family. I really love your recipes and the videos are my daily sweet spot. Also Derek, you're a genius and your life philosophy about WFPB and not eating anything with a face is my way of life. Franky melts my heart. Thank You.
Thank you for this video. I love the presentation and took a pic on my phone so I’ll have it. I’m always reluctant to serve tacos when I have company because they seem so informal but serving them this way completely elevates them.
This looks delicious! I’ve been trying to do more vegetarian dishes and I don’t like tofu or fake meats so I almost exclusively use lentils. Do you have a favorite vegetarian cheese? That’s been the hardest part for me - it seems an impossible task to find a believable fake cheese.
I really appreciate the added education you give in your videos. Your tips about techniques and equipment and tool maintenance are priceless and very helpful.
Awesome, thank you
Yes, and also cleaning as you go! Smart and helpful!

I made them last night. So so so good. The flavor was so intense, i usually can't get my spices to work like that! I'll be toasting spices left and right. thank you.
Amazing! So glad you enjoyed them.
These are outstanding, made them multiple times already a firm favourite in our house!
Really good for camping too if you prepare everything first, super easy to heat up.
I love love love how you didn't talk over music. The mug is super funny. Your knife skills! And Frankie 🖤😘😍
Thanks for watching.
Saved! Looks so yummy. Like the addition of the crushed tortilla chips. Great idea.
This was my favorite video for Wicked Kitchen so far, the educational element and the east to watch point of view were excellent!! Keep doing what you're doing, and thank you!!
Thank you. More to come
if you use a waterstone a lot, it can help to get one of the lapping/grinding stone they sell to re-flatten them. They're designed to wear down some, and if you favor certain parts of the stone, they can cup or get grooved
Thanks for watching
Fan of your show and recipes. This looks more like a quesadilla than a taco. Either way, it looks delicious.
Thanks for watching.
Tacodilla.
I just made it and it was delicious! I just added some more tortilla chips the next day right before cooking to add some crispy. 👌 Thank you very much for sharing. Merci beaucoup !
I love that you show yourself stuffing your face with the tacos at the end!! Much more relateable than channels where they take one delicate little bite. I'm going to try to persuade my meat eating husband to make a batch of this, as it seems like they'd made a nice easy lunch while we're on school holidays and with 40 degree heat anticipated next week (where I am). THanks!
Oh you can see me stuff my face even more in the new ones LOL. These believe it or not are great pre-done and cold, esp when it's hot out. Thanks for watching.
I don't follow your ingredients because I use what I like and have in the kitchen but I do follow your style and my meals have improved.
Very innovative recipe !! Long time vegetarian and things get tiresome.
Can’t wait to try this one. I’m adding wayyyy more cheese tho!
Thanks for watching
I appreciate the tips you have for people who don’t want to use oil. I am new at this so it really helped.
I should never watch your videos when I have entered the fasting portion of my day! 🤣 Yum! Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Frankie is wearing a babushka! Also a slang term for Polish/Russian old woman.🙂
I've found that I must make myself something to eat while watching your videos 'cause they make me hungry! So good!
What you've made here is more along the lines of a quesadilla as opposed to a taco. A distinction that will make a difference in a Mexican restaurant/community when ordering food.
You lost me at the vegan cheese most of which are made with oils, often highly saturated coconut oil. Yech! But what one can do is replace the 'cheese' with a thick humous. It's not quite the same and doesn't turn gooey which is the best part of any cheese, but if one cares about their coronary arteries it's an acceptable substitution. Add a little nutritional yeast to the humous and you get sort of close. I also like to make quesadillas in my old George Foreman hamburger grill or you can use a pannini press as well.
I've now finished eating my grilled multi-grain sourdough toast topped with smashed&flavored tofu, avocado, spicing, lemon juice, chopped cilantro. yum! Nice having breakfast with you!
Veganaise works great as a sour cream substitute on burritos and tacos. It's surprisingly delicious and versatile. :)
Nice. Thanks for watching
This is by far the best taco I’ve since going plant based in 2020! My family loved them and this will definitely become a regular in our home!
Great to hear!
the natural lighting >>
As always another FAB easy recipe from the Derek & Frankie 👍😋
DUDE! This recipe looks fantastic! What are your thoughts on pan dry-roasting the spices? That was a suggestion from someone from SE Asia, so that's how I've been doing it. Also, I cannot tell you enough, how awesome it is to have someone making tasty, spice filled vegan and PBNO food, I see a lot of people making WFPB-NO things with very little spice flair and it saddens me.
Thanks for watching. Dry roasting spices is quick or they burn.
You. Thank you, we love watching you and appreciate all that you've gone through and done. Love these so much! I made the pico tooooooo hot but it was all still fantastic. xoxo love to Frankie.
This looks absolutely amazing!!!! I can almost taste it and inhale the aroma!
Thanks for watching
I'm so glad I found you! Thank you❤. I have been a vegetarian for 50+ years and eat a lot of vegan meals but never made the total switch because for me it's difficult to afford all the great products out there now. I also at my age have osteopenia and somehow have to add to my diet a little more umph so I don't break into pieces. ❤
Looks great, I need more lentils in my diet👍. What lentils did you use?
Green, brown or black work. Thanks for watching
This looks delicious! Love your style, voice, the pup, knife sharpening & wiping/cleaning as you go 💙 New subscriber 💕
I'm a carnivore trying to lessen my meat consumption, so I did a vegetarian variant on this with full-milk cheese and sour cream, and they were phenomenal! If you happen to have them on hand, I recommend mixing cayenne, New Mexico Chile and ancho in place of just 2 straight tablespoons of chili powder; it gives the lentil mash mixture a bit more depth.
Thanks so much for the recipe!
Thanks for watching
Looks fantastic! I will make this tomorrow for my family. I really love your recipes and the videos are my daily sweet spot. Also Derek, you're a genius and your life philosophy about WFPB and not eating anything with a face is my way of life. Franky melts my heart. Thank You.
Add some avocado to that and I am sold!
Done
Thank you for this video. I love the presentation and took a pic on my phone so I’ll have it. I’m always reluctant to serve tacos when I have company because they seem so informal but serving them this way completely elevates them.
Omg
I will definitely be adding this 🌮 recipe to my do list. I love lentils, and the combination of spices are so flavorful
Thank you for sharing 👍
Awesome! We hope you love it as much as we do
Just made this! It was delicious and kid approved 😀
This looks delicious! I’ve been trying to do more vegetarian dishes and I don’t like tofu or fake meats so I almost exclusively use lentils. Do you have a favorite vegetarian cheese? That’s been the hardest part for me - it seems an impossible task to find a believable fake cheese.
Applewood smoked shreds here in the UK is pretty good. They all need some work, but still are better than dairy versions.
Haverstock White by Nettle is the best vegan cheese in the UK, made with Macadamia nuts. Amazing taste. Expensive but a worthwhile treat!
Happy to see you mentioning using no oil. That’s a great plus for me. Not sure fry fried corn tortillas would be great but it’s an option
