Prepare your filling ingredients.
Heat a large skillet or frypan on medium heat, add your oil, onion and garlic. Cook stirring regularly until golden brown.
Add mince, herbs and spices and cook for about 5 mins, breaking up the mince with your spoon. Once the mince is lightly browned, add the carrot, lentils and half of the broth, simmer on low-medium for around 10 minutes to really soften up the carrots. Adding more broth when necessary.
While your filling mixture is cooking, prepare your topping ingredients and start warming up your taco shells, as per the packet instructions.
Taste the filling mixture and season if needed.
Assemble your taco’s! This is the fun part. You can either bring everything to the table and let people help themselves, or you can dish them up, readily made for each person. To be honest, I prefer dishing them up for everyone because then I know how much of each ingredient to use and i’m not likely to run out of anything during assembly.
My preferred layering method is: chicken mixture, cheese, tomato, salsa, sour cream and lettuce on top to hold it all in place!
Serve immediately.
