Vegan Soft Tacos

So I was in charge of dinner tonight, and I made soft tacos. I thought I'd share the recipe here :)
 
 
Ingredients:
 
 
Canned lentils (quicker than cooking from scratch)
Canned tomatoes
Capsicum of any colour (I used red and yellow tonight)
Tomatoes (fresh)
Onion (I used red onion tonight)
Spinach
Your choice of spices/taco mix/curry powder etc
Olive oil/macadamia nut oil/avocado oil etc (I used olive oil tonight)
Avocado/guacamole
Tortilla
 
 
Method:
 
 
Get the stove heating and place pan on. Chop up the onion and place in pan with some oil (olive in my case) and start chopping the capsicum. Once this is done, tip into pan. Open can of tomatoes and add to pan, using spatula/spoon etc to break up the soft tomatoes into the sauce. Then cut up the fresh tomato and tip into pan. (All veges should be in little chunks, only a cm or so in each direction). Wash spinach under cold water, then hand tear and place into the pan. Open lentil can and tip into sieve. Wash under a tap to ensure that all traces of the brine is gone, as it tastes funny. Tip into pan and stir. Keep the ingredients moving  and mixed together so that they all absorb each other's flavour. (Add spices etc now if it takes your fancy, as they stay on the outside of all the ingredients, and the taste remains more pronounced).
 
Once it looks like a decent taco filling, take it off the heat, and turn the stove off.
 
Cover a strip down the middle of the tortilla with avocado or guacamole, then add a strip of the taco filling. Roll up the tortilla and eat!
