Lentil Tacos/Taco Salad

Hopefully this recipe turns out millions times better than the last one I posted (yeah, I deleted it - it was pretty not okay). I'm a super duper taco fan and vegetarian tacos in various creative ways are always intriguing to me.

2 cups lentils, well rinsed
1 pkg. taco seasoning (make sure you get one with no MSG or hydrolyzed protein)
water

Make lentils according to package directions (simmer 45 minutes after bringing to a boil), but instead of just water, add taco seasoning

Make tacos using this yummy mixture in lieu of meat. Fill the tacos with the usual things: lettuce, tomatoes, vegan cheddar cheese, salsa, guacamole etc.

You can also make a scrumptious taco salad by placing tomatoes, vegan cheese, lentil mixture, avacado, salsa and the like on a bed of romaine lettuce. Adding some crumbled chips would make a nice finishing touch.
