Notes
The combination of smoked paprika and Bragg’s Amino Acids creates an almost BBQ-ish flavor. The consistency of the quinoa and lentil taco filling has a texture similar to ground beef in your standard tacos. This recipe is adapted from the amazing blog Healthy Slow Cooking. In addition to some minor changes, I revved up the nutrition by adding sweet potato! This was a kid-approved recipe as well! Happy Meatless Monday 🙂
