Lentils are one of my favorite vegan ground beef substitutes. They’re satisfying, protein-packed, and have just the right texture. I’ve had success using them in everything from vegan sausage rolls to lentil burgers to vegan stuffed peppers. So of course lentils would make an excellent vegan taco filling. They work really well in this recipe, and as an added bonus, they’re cheap as heck! These lentil tacos are absolutely scrumptious and incredibly easy to make. This is also a fantastic recipe for using up leftover lentils! Tip: Cooked lentils freeze really well! Make a large batch and keep them in the freezer. Once they’re thawed, these tacos can be thrown together in about fifteen minutes! Tip: Like your tacos extra spicy? Add some cayenne pepper or your favorite hot sauce to the filling.
