Red lentils step in for mince in these weeknight tacos, simmering down into a soft, well-spiced filling in about half an hour. Crisp lime-dressed cabbage slaw and a tangy lime sauce keep the whole plate fresh and light.

Lentil filling
Rinse the red lentils well and put them in a pot with the vegetable stock. Simmer over medium heat, covered, for 8-10 minutes, checking at the earlier end — they should be tender but still hold their shape, not mushy. Drain off any excess liquid.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion for 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Stir the taco seasoning and tomato puree into the onion in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cooked lentils and sweetcorn to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer uncovered for 3-5 minutes until the filling is thick and moist but not wet.
Cabbage slaw and lime sauce
While the filling cooks, toss the cabbage with the juice of one lime, a pinch of salt and the honey in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften.
Stir the juice and zest of the other lime into the sour cream in a small bowl and season with salt to taste — this is your lime sauce.
Assembly
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan, about 30 seconds per side, until soft and lightly golden — or wrap them in foil and heat in the oven at 150°C (130°C fan) for 10 minutes.
Divide the lentil filling among the tortillas, top with cabbage slaw, drizzle with lime sauce and scatter coriander over the top. Serve right away.

Leftover filling keeps in the fridge for 3 days and freezes well for up to 2 months — great reheated over rice the next day.
