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.

VEGETARIAN TACO FILLING
This is a recipe I came up with looking for an alternative to using ground beef and a packaged seasoning mix to make a filling for tacos. It is completely vegan, and has successfully fooled both old fashioned meat & potatoes guys and hungry teenagers both.

VEGETARIAN TACO FILLING VERSION II
This is a great meatless substitute for the seasoned ground beef you find in many Mexican recipes. I find I've been making this recipe WITH the addition of black beans more and more. I use this over nachos, or as a filling for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas. Because of the wonderful spices in the mixture, I find that alot of my favorite "meat-eaters" really don't miss the ground beef at all!! ; >

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add meatless ground burger, water and spices.
- Mix well and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until heated through and water is absorbed.
- Add black beans and simmer another 5 minutes.
- Use this mixture to replace the seasoned ground beef in any of your favorite Mexican recipes!
- Another note* One can use 1 cup of TVP in place of the soy crumbles or Boca. You might need a bit more that 1 cup of water to keep mixture from getting too dry.
