These meat-free tacos are so tasty, and the lentil-nut mix is a perfect filling for not only tacos, but also burritos, nachos, taco salads, rice bowls, you name it! I usually end up eating it in a bowl with some tortilla chips and green pepper Tabasco sauce. There are just so many options for this meal, and it’s so easy, which is a huge plus!
