Lentil Taco Meat {Vegan, Grain-Free, High-Protein}

Really liked this! Used a premade spice mix & added zucchini as I served this in zucchini boats. So yummy!

I'm going to try adding ground tofu with it next time to improve the texture and use taco seasoning packet. I still enjoyed it. It did turn out to spicy for the kids so I had to make more lentils and added a bit of the seasoned lentils to the plain lentils and kept adding and tasting until it got to a nice flavor that the kids would enjoy, which they did.

Amazing!! Paired with corn tortillas, roasted potatoes, sautéed cabbage (with 1.5 tbsp rice vinegar & half lime), cherry tomatoes, cilantro, tahini sauce.

Mixed with a lb of beef (doubled seasoning) and it was good. Lentils and beans are a great way to stretch meat. I've done mixed tacos with cauliflower too and I think i like the cauliflower&beef mix better, but this was definitely more filing. Maybe next time I'll try red lentils. Oh also i cooked the 1 cup dried lentils in a little over 2 cup broth (instead of 4c water) which i always find more flavorful. There was a tiny bit of broth left that i mixed into the meat. It cooked out fine.

Love the texture and easy to make. I just added a more seasoning, soy sauce, ACV, and Worcestershire

I used split red lentils and it worked great!Add the juice of a lemon for acidity and a knob of butter for richness.

Easy and convenient to make as a vegetarian option for Tex Mex. This is Tex Mex mimicking flavor and not an authentic Mexican flavor but it is surely healthier than store bought taco mixes.I

I may have added too much water. Still very tasty, good addition to other dishes.

Delicious. I make this weekly. I have it in hard shelled tacos with a chipotle sauce to hold it together. I never add the extra water at the end because I don't think it's needed. It goes well with pasta, rice, burritos etc...
