Mercimeğin taco kıymasında bu kadar lezzetli olabileceğini düşünmezdim! Ailem de çok sevdi. 👌

Tarif harika, fakat ben biraz fazla tuzlu buldum. Bir dahaki sefere tuz miktarını azaltacağım.

Bu tarifi denedim, kıymalı taco sevmeyenler bile bayıldı! Bir de biber ekleyince daha da şahane oldu.

Mercimek yerine kırmızı mercimek kullansam olur mu? Yapısı değişir diye endişeleniyorum.
