on hard-shell tacos with sour cream & salsa
Recipe Developer Sarah: "I love vegetarian food! I like to cook it in such a way that you don't miss the meat, so I chose lentils as a replacement for minced meat in this recipe. The Mexican spices add spice to the dish and the two types of dips complete it."
