Method

1. Rinse the lentils in a sieve. Bring them to a boil with 400 ml water in a pot and cook over medium heat for about 12 minutes until soft, until the water is almost absorbed.
2. Crumble the tofu finely with your hands. Finely dice the onion and garlic.
3. Heat the oil in a large pan. Sauté the onion and garlic in it for 3 minutes until translucent.
4. Add the tofu, cumin and smoked paprika and fry for 6 to 8 minutes until the tofu is golden brown. Stir in the tomato paste and toast for 1 minute more.
5. Fold in the cooked lentils, season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
6. Dice the mango and tomatoes. Mix with the juice of the lime, chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to make a salsa.
7. Halve the avocado, remove the pit and slice it. Wash the romaine lettuce and cut it into strips.
8. Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan according to the package instructions. Top with the tofu-lentil mixture, lettuce, avocado and salsa, and serve immediately.
