This week's Meatless Friday meal is
LENTIL TACOS
These are so good and flavorful that you won't miss the meat at all! Plus, this is a great budget buster meal. A large bag of lentils is less than a dollar and by making your own tortillas you'd save even more! Definitely give this a try!

ReplyDeleteI think I've seen these on your menu plans before, but they didn't sound very good. Your picture looks good, though, so I checked to see that I had everything on hand and gave these a go this evening. My clan LOVED them. We're big taco meat fans and this was as close as you can get on a Friday. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked them! They are great on taco salads and nachos as well.
