Vegetarian Lentil Taco 'meat Filling' Substitute (Crock Pot) image

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.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted salsa for the tomato sauce. It worked great!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
