Miso Lentil Lettuce Tacos

… say that 10x fast!

This is my version of #tacotuesday, a vegetarian lentil taco wrapped in lettuce with Dave’s Gourmet Korean Food Miso dressing drizzled on top. O M G. So good.

My body isn’t a big fan of corn, and totally rejects wheat and wheat gluten, so when it comes to tacos and burritos — I have to get creative. Enter: bowls and lettuce wraps.

I will warn you, lettuce wraps are definitely not first date food, especially when there’s a dressing involved. You’ll need a few napkins, and be willing to get down and dirty. If I’m making these for on-the-go lunches, I chop the lettuce and turn these babies into a salad instead (the salad version being more first date friendly, you know, if you were wondering).
