Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Difficulty Level: 2 (moderate)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. Rinse lentils and pick out any debris or small stones.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
3. While lentils cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes more, until heated through.
5. Add cooked lentils to the skillet and stir to combine.
6. Place a heaping spoonful of the lentil mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with desired toppings and serve.
