Best Lentil Taco Meat Recipes
VEGETARIAN LENTIL TACO 'MEAT FILLING' SUBSTITUTE (CROCK POT)
This taco filling is a healthier alternative to the meat version. I found this recipe on a "runners" message board where the posters were raving how much this tasted as good as a meat filling. I actually like it better than the fillings made with ground beef. It tastes great in taco shells on taco salads and anywhere you'd normally use a meat taco filling.

VEGAN LENTIL TACO 'MEAT'
Try using lentils instead of beef or chicken! Vegan- and vegetarian-friendly. Lentils have no fat and no cholesterol, and they are a complex carbohydrate high in protein and fiber... and they are quite inexpensive too. These lentils make great tacos and casseroles.

Steps:
- Bring 2 1/2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil in a medium sized saucepan. Meanwhile, rinse the lentils in a strainer, then add them to the broth once it boils. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 30 to 35 minutes until tender, then uncover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes to thicken.
- Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, then saute the chopped onion for roughly 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir constantly for one minute.
- Add the tomato paste and the dried spices and cook for a minute, while stirring constantly.
- Put the cooked lentils in the skillet and stir until well blended. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of the remaining vegetable broth and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding filtered water when necessary, as this meat will absorb a lot of liquid.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice. If you want, you can mash the lentils or put half in a food processor to change up the texture and appearance.
- Serve while still warm.
