Things that I love about being vegan. I have all of these things in my home and I am flat broke! We get the most beautiful, great tasting food out of being cheap as hell and I love it! It’s so hard to think that people say being vegan is expensive, it is anything but! Thanks to amazing people like you. We get to not only be healthy but eat some of the best foods on the planet.

I just wanted to come back here and say, I made these. I am not vegetarian or vegan. I made them for my adult daughter/SIL and 15 and 10 yr old grandkids. Everyone loved them and raved over them. Probably the best tacos I ever made.

A dog with a head scarf, lentil tacos, and the smoothest voice since MIDWEST MAGIC CLEANING. I subscribed in a heart beat. Love it.

I'm just glad to see that in not the only one eating lentil tacos in the morning! I do mine a little different, but it's mostly the same. I don't mix the cheese into the lentils directly. Instead, I do a bed of cheese and add the lentils on top so it's more like a quesadilla. I also like adding some red enchilada sauce to the base. That being said, anyone who hasn't had this recipe is missing out!

What spices went into the lentils? Did I miss that bit?

Hey Derek! New follower here from Texas! As a hunter my entire life animal protein made up a majority of my diet , but my wife and I are on day 3 of our journey to eating plant based and these tacos were a huge hit! Your videos helped us see that we don’t have to give up flavor and quality to make the switch. Trying your simple meat cheat sandwich tonight!

I made this tonight. It was really great, not too time consuming and my husband didn't even know it was not made with meat. Thank you 💜
-
That’s a quesadilla. Especially after you cut it. Looks yummy. It’s just not a taco.
-
The fact that you considered people that cook with no oil just made me subscribe, thank you for having that in mind. Many vegan recipes don't and it's always a wonder wether it will work without oil or not
-
One question: I always thought that breaks and lentils don't cook properly in tomato and/or salt and need to be cooked separately. And that they need to be soaked. Did your lentils really cook through with your method of mixing? What kind did you use?
-
Fantastic! I made this tonight for my carnivore sister. She said "Better than meat!!!" Keep these amazing recipes coming! Love watching those knife skills!
-
Oh wow, this is my second find of a vegan cooking channel in one day, that has no music - what joy!!! Thank you so much - I’m one of those people who cope cope with loud, pumping, shouty music that gets turned up and down frantically all the time someone is talking. It makes me feel nauseous and I have to mute the sound, but it gets lonely living in silence 😢 Anyway, new subscriber here, because your voice is soothing and gentle plus the sound of chopping and cooking is meditative. And a bonus is seeing your lovely Labrador 😊 Bless you - looking forward to some more ❤❤❤

What brand of smoked vegan cheese is good?
-
Jonzing for this recipe. What size of Plum Canned Tomatoes?
-
Thank you I've been making this recipe 3 times a week .I make a big batch and put in a big xl mason jar, I use it in taco's, make soup, chilli with vegan cheese on top. It's so economical.😊
-
Thx much for no oil tips. It took me a long time to realize cilantro was coriander in France. No one knew what I was talking about😊
-
planning to make this tomorrow night for company. Hey, what's the deal with the clicking of the tongs? Just something you like to do?

How long do we cook the lentils
