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!
@@DerekSarnoChefIs this the same thing as baria tacos?
"tips" more like bald faced shilling for those juicy associate links lmao
Your misery is showing @@johannesgutenburg9837
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.
A dog with a head scarf, lentil tacos, and the smoothest voice since MIDWEST MAGIC CLEANING. I subscribed in a heart beat. Love it.
Thanks for watching
Exactly 🎉
Oh this solved the mystery of how the algorithm recommended this gem to me. Hello fellow mid west magic cleaning viewer
I watch Midwest Magic Cleaning also! *does a spin kick*
I love this reunion!!😂😂😂😂
Can. I. Move. In!!!??????? 😅🙌🏾✨🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Can I have him weekends?
@@lesleydodd1509 yup! Seems like enough to go around 🤣
@@crc133 🤣🤣🤣
I made these tonight...chef's kiss!😊❤
Looks epic. Bonus points for hand smashing whole tomatoes. It's just better.
I made this tonight. It was really great, not too time consuming and my husband didn't even know it was not made with meat. Thank you 💜
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!
Thank you for your more compassionate choice! Also, the health benefits are ahmaazing!
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.
I love vegan recioes, but you got a good thing going hunting. Wonderful nutrition for your family. Fill that freezer lol
Also, Nourishing traditions is a great read
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!
Thanks for watching
@@DerekSarnoChef No, thank you!
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 think adding the enchilada sauce sounds awesome. Either that or some green chilis.
God dang, this sounds delicious too!!! My mouth is watering after the video and then you adding suggestions!
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.
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.
Yeung Man Cooking is a great Asian Vegan channel
THIS is what cooking is all about tbh, its about mixing and matching. thats why I love sam the cooking guy so much.
Thanks for watching
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😊
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!
That’s a great idea.
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! 😀
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!
Thanks for watching!
This looks so good! Thank you.
I made these tacos several weeks ago. We loved them. We had them last night and will have them again tonight. They are so delish!!! Thanks Derek.
Aside from the awesome recipes, I love how you cook, clean, maneuver around the kitchen!!❤
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.
Looks amazing. I will definitely try this recipe. Thanks.
I can’t wait to make this! Looks so good! I love how versatile lentils are. THANK YOU!❤
Great idea for me on my renewed lentil quest! I appreciate your skill and you win with your pup love any day! I'll try this very soon❤
Great recipe- thank you. And yes, please tell Frankie hello! She is a beautiful dog and I love seeing her in the videos 🙂
These look amazing. Can't wait to make em.
Gorgeous. Glad this came up in my feed, beautiful plant based recipes are what I'm loving to see.
Thanks for watching
Fantastic! I made this tonight for my carnivore sister. She said "Better than meat!!!" Keep these amazing recipes coming!
Love watching those knife skills!
Wicked! Thanks for watching.
@@DerekSarnoChef 💟
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 ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
I'm back to make these again. Amazing recipe
I made these yesterday, and they were so bomb!! Definitely will be making them again :) Thank you
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! 🙏
Awesome! So glad it's of use. thanks for watching
This will be added to our menu for next week - Thanks Chef!
Just finished eating this for dinner tonight. We loved it!!
I've made these twice already and my non-vegan dad loved these so much I'm making them for Easter! Thanks for your easy but yummy recipes.
Just made this tonight - we loved it. Great recipe. Thanks!
I watched this video on TH-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!
Looks great
you can also cook in air fryer too, spay little oil before putting in air fryer, absolutely wonderful 😊
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.
Thank you for watching and tell your daughter thanks for eating plant based!
Veganaise works great as a sour cream substitute on burritos and tacos. It's surprisingly delicious and versatile. :)
Nice. Thanks for watching
This looks sooo delicious.
Thank you for your time and the very good instructions.
Looks delicious
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!!
These were one of my first PBNO meals 10+ years ago. I love the texture and flavor the black “beluga” lentils for taco filling.
Awesome
Black beluga are more expensive but delicious here
Does it matter what type of lentils are used?
@@misha9179 Nope.
Looking forward to trying these smashed tacos. Thank you.
This is so good!
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
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.
I’m making these now! I’m so excited. 🥰
OMG! I tried this today and this is really the best lentils dish ever!
"Taco. Taco. Taco flavored kisses"
Hey, that's a quesadilla! Lol
Thanks for watchin
@@DrivenByChrist Nah.
@@DrivenByChrist He loves me so much that I'll be sent to hell if I don't love him back. 😂
Talk about Stockholm syndrome.
Just made this for the in-laws and it was an absolute...smash! Everyone loved them - will be checking out more of your recipes! 😋
Amazing, thanks for watching
Thank you so much. I can’t wait to try this - it looks amazing. My husband and I are fans 😋.
Thank u soooo much for blessing us with ur cooking talents. My family and I loved these quesadillas . We dipped ours in cilantro cream sauce. 🤤🤩
this is hands down one of my favorite channels on youtube. keep doing what youre doing boss!
I appreciate that!
What an awesome, information and entertaining cooking video. Thanks dude!
Thanks for watching
Looks delicioso! I just made refried beans w sautéed veggies, in tortillas, last a week. I plan on trying SD tortillas in the future w my SD starter. Thx for sharing
This is awesome, thanks
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
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for doing oil free instructions. I love your recipes, especially the mushroom recipes. You are the reason I even buy mushrooms.
Happy to help, thank you for watching
If you don't mind me asking, do you avoid oil to avoid the extra calories?
@@MrJ3 I avoid oil because of saturated fat. I’m trying very hard to be SOS free but so far oil is the only easy part.
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!
Thanks for the idea 😊 I like the fact that you can prepare it in advance !
You’re smashing these vids. You make learning fun. Love to Gran.❤🐶
It’s all about the Gran
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.
That looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing!!!
Wonderful wood😊Thank you for the video
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!
Awesome! Thanks for watching. Glad you made it yours. All about our own way here.
the natural lighting >>
They look so delicious
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!
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
I love love love how you didn't talk over music. The mug is super funny. Your knife skills! And Frankie 🖤😘😍
Thanks for watching.
Hello Mr. Sarno! Thank you for sharing your recipe. What is the best type of lentil to use?
I will be making them again, they are soooo goood!!
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 should never watch your videos when I have entered the fasting portion of my day! 🤣 Yum! Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Looks great !!
Looks good
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 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.
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.
Right on!👍🏼
That’s a quesadilla. Especially after you cut it. Looks yummy. It’s just not a taco.
Call it whatever you want, it's delicious, thanks for watching.
This looks absolutely amazing!!!! I can almost taste it and inhale the aroma!
Thanks for watching
Love your videos/food. ADORE Frankie!!!
Love the way you structure the videos... no judgement for anything
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
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.
Thank you for the oil-free suggestions!
I love the knife…nice and sharp
If this makes a dozen, I'll put some in the freezer.
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching
This looks exactly like the kind of cooking I tend to do. I can't wait to try it (or whatever my version of it turns out to be).
Thank you so much.
That looks SOOOOO FREAKING GOOD! Thank you for the recipe! 💚🌱💚
Add some avocado to that and I am sold!
Done
Looks great, I need more lentils in my diet👍. What lentils did you use?
Green, brown or black work. Thanks for watching
Right. Dinner sorted for tonight! Thanks.
WOW-ZA! That looks wonderful!
Comes running because of the cheese tax 😂😂😂
Every. Single. Time.
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!
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!
Enjoying watching you cooking anything! Tacos look so delicious!!!
