Notes
*I used a 12"x8" casserole dish. Depending on the shells you use, it might be tricky to keep the taco shells standing straight up. I found the best way to load them up was by adding the lentils to each shell one at a time and then carefully leaning them against one another. If they fall over while cooking, don't worry, they will still taste good.
**This will make more queso and more lentils than you will need for 8 tacos. Save the leftovers to make taco bowls the next day. Or eat the leftover queso with chips.
