Easy, Inexpensive Lentil Tacos

Pleases even the pickiest eater! Full of flavor, you won't miss the meat! VERY inexpensive and delicious. We're not always the healthiest eaters, but we love this healthy meal!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Dump everything in a medium pot and boil. Turn down the heat to a little lower than medium and cook covered (just like rice) until done. I usually stir every 5-6 minutes, but you probably don't need to once the spices are mixed! Use just like regular taco filling.

    Worthy of the ratings! These were great, cheap and easy, and will definitely be a regular in our house. Note: it did take more like 45 minutes of cooking time to get the rice fully cooked

    Delicious! I dumped all the ingredients in my crock pot and cooked it on low for about 6 hours. It came out perfectly. Great recipe!

    We are total carnivores but LOVED this vegetarian meal. We used it as burrito filling and I doubled the recipe and froze half in the bottom of a casserole dish for a taco casserole later. So yummy! I don't think we'll ever use taco meat again!
