VEGETARIAN LENTIL TACO 'MEAT FILLING' SUBSTITUTE (CROCK POT)



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.

  • Add all the ingredients to a large slow cooker (mine is 6.5 litres / ~ 7 quarts), and mix well to combine. Cook on high for around 3 1/2 - 4 hours, until cooked to your liking. You can stir once or twice during cooking, but don't leave the lid off for any length of time, or the heat will take a while to build up again.
  • Adjust the seasonings before serving if necessary - add more salt and pepper, or more chilli powder if it's not spicy enough.
