Can I confess something? My family will eat tacos every single day of the week without complaint. Give them a tortilla filled with just about anything and they are happy (especially if there is avocado involved). Since my husband and I stopped eating meat, we’ve had fun finding and creating different meatless taco options. You would be surprised how many delicious vegetarian options there are out there and you don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy them! One of our new favorite recipes are these Vegetarian Lentil Tacos with Avocado and Salsa Fresca. These tacos are fresh, filling and have a kick to them!
These tacos are packed with a mixture of meatless crumbles and lentils and topped with fresh tomato salsa and avocado. You can adjust the spices to your comfort level. Make them as spicy or as mild as you’d like. Either way, they are a definite must-try. Read on for the full recipe.
While my husband and I love spicy food, we do suffer from occasional heartburn and indigestion. Is there anything worse than heartburn at night with sleeplessness? Anytime I eat spicy food, it rears it’s ugly head. Luckily, new Alka-Seltzer® PM Gummies allow us to enjoy the spicy foods we love. It’s the ONLY fast relief of occasional heartburn + occasional sleeplessness. So we can enjoy our spicy meal and get a good night’s rest.
If occasional heartburn or indigestion get in the way of enjoying your favorite spicy dishes, make sure to grab these new Alka-Seltzer® gummies. They are now available at Walmart in the Pharmacy section by the Heartburn Relief products! Click here to save $1 on any Alka-Seltzer® product, while supplies last!

Hello There!
Hi! I’m Heather, Mom of 3, professional snack opener, the only person who knows where everything is in my house and part-time magician (I can turn a bunch of candy into a gift basket and everyone thinks it’s amazing).

Around here, we love turning ordinary stuff into extraordinary gifts, from candy box baskets and birthday punch boards to homemade advent calendars and other crafty chaos that somehow always works out.

I LOVE tacos. But I have to admit I’ve never tired vegetarian tacos, I want to make these. So thanks for sharing! 🙂
I actually just tried lentil tacos for the first time a few weeks ago. They are such a tasty alternative to ground beef, especially if you add enough seasoning 😉
I haven’t tried vegetarian tacos before so I am really curious about the taste. I bet it was delicious!
We love tacos over here and this is making me so hungry right now. I’ve never tried a vegetarian taco though, but I would love to have that. Looks good!
Yummy!! I need to get better at meal prep so I can do stuff like this. This looks amazingly satisfying for a vegetarian meal.
I love spicy foods too. I can go from Mexican, Indian to Korean spicy foods without complaining. But the only thing that bothers me occasionally is heart burn too. I remember there was a time when I ate spicy noodles for breakfast. it was really savory but the effect came ten minutes after. I had mild chest pain the whole day, even if I took antacid.. I didn’t thought of this brand. I will try it the next time.
We are not vegetarians, but these still look amazing! I think this would be a great healthy option for us one of these days! I can’t wait to try it!
