Turn to quick-cooking lentils for a super-flavorful vegetarian taco filling that has plenty of protein and even mimics the texture of ground beef! I like to serve with 2 cups grated cheese, 1 pint cherry tomatoes, diced, and 1 head lettuce, shredded. Plus, any other favorite toppings like sour cream and avocado!
