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.
Your thumb nails bring me back every time.
…. Then tacos! Oh my goodness… watching closely.
My mouth is watering at a crisp, 8am 🤣 I'm trying to incorporate more lentils into my meals. Thank you for this!
yummy!
Great recipe- thank you. And yes, please tell Frankie hello! She is a beautiful dog and I love seeing her in the videos 🙂
I love lentils! This looks delicious! A new subscriber.
Fun fact "PICO" translates to beak in spanish
Looks delicious….
Isn't that actually a quesadilla though…?
What spices went into the lentils? Did I miss that bit?
Thx much for no oil tips. It took me a long time to realize cilantro was coriander in France. No one knew what I was talking about😊
I have read that you should not cook lentils in tomatoes or any spices (salt especially) as it prevents lentils from cooking through? You should cook the lentils in plain water and season later.
Wow! Must try!
Thanks so much
I added minced beef to this, and yeah, it was better ngl
with cheese?
The best lentil dish ever is dal fry with oven chips
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.
What brand of smoked vegan cheese is good?
Wicked!
What's the difference between smash tacos and quesadillas
Love your style of cooking man – nice stuff. Helloo to Frankie from downunder.
no jalapeno or serrano…sorry not pico de gallo. white people relish
Interesting. We call those quesadillas. Yeah. Easy and delish. All kinds of filling, onion, garlic, mashed beans, long pepper strips from out garden, vegan cheese, etc
I'm always confused about how to cool down food- esp for meal prep as I head that putting hot food in the fridge can bring down the overall temperature and affect the other food in the fridge…..but have also heard leaving food on the counter to cool can lead to bacteria….so confused. I just wanna learn to cook more, eat safely and not die….
This looks delicious!
this is hands down one of my favorite channels on youtube. keep doing what youre doing boss!
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.😊
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!
This looks sooo delicious.
Thank you for your time and the very good instructions.
The best vegan dish ever!
Can I marry you if you are single hehehe.
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!
looks really good. I will try it for sure
I wish I could become your apprentice 😩
I see you little Tom Selleck mustache
planning to make this tomorrow night for company. Hey, what's the deal with the clicking of the tongs? Just something you like to do?
Made this and it all came out fine. Tasty! Thank you.
