Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup cooked lentils
1/2 cup salsa
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
Pepper to taste
6 taco shells

Toppings

Instructions

Add all the ingredients except for the toppings in a large skillet.
Cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often. If the taco mixture looks dry, you can add a tablespoon or two of water at a time. Set the taco filling aside.
To assemble, fill a taco shell with the lentil mixture. Repeat with the remaining shells and mixture.
Finally, add the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!

Notes

If you're not a fan of hardshell tacos, you can make these vegan tacos with tortillas! Before assembly, heat them up on a grill or in a pan with some oil.
For a quick salad, throw the lentil mixture in a bowl with baby spinach, romaine lettuce, and any other veggies you like. Then, for the dressing, use your favorite salsa (or try our salsa tatemada for a change) and mix it with vegan yogurt, a bit of water to adjust the consistency, and your choice of seasonings to suit your taste.
There are so many delicious ways to serve this vegan lentil taco filling! You can add it to our sweet potato baked burritos, vegan nachos, street corn salad, or just pile it over cooked rice.
