BBQ Black Bean and Sweet Potato Patties [vegan, gluten-free, oil-free]

PepitaAvocadoSauce1This recipe came to me while I was working out, as many recipes do (I should be thinking about the workout and not food, I know!). I wanted to throw something together for an easy lunch and this is what I came up with.  They are easy to make but taste like they were a lot of work. They’re moist but hold together well.  Really yummy.  I like serving them with avocado and Sour Un-Cream, or my Toasted Pepita Avocado Sauce as pictured.

BBQ Lentil Tacos

If you’re thinking “BBQ, and lentils – in a taco!?  Weird!”, think again.  It’s delicious.  Of course, if you aren’t a fan of BBQ, you won’t like it because it has a strong BBQ flavor.  Personally, I’d like the lentil mixture without the sauce just as much, but the BBQ is yummy.  These are easy to make and so flavorful.  We enjoy them topped with my homemade non-dairy sour cream (see in Recipes on this site for Sour Un-Cream), raw cabbage and lime.

Note: this recipe is gluten-free only if you use a BBQ sauce that is gluten-free.
