Recipe Notes
Stacy's Notes: I've made these a few times and I like them (Tim is ok with them, but he obviously prefers meat!). I have made the recipe as written, but it makes way too much for the two of us, so these days I tend to cut it in half. We've mostly served this in hard shells, but I have had mine in a taco salad before and liked it. If I make tacos for Tim and just want enough for me for dinner, I cut the recipe into a 1/4 cup of lentils and scale the seasonings and salsa down accordingly 🙂
Enjoy!
