How to Make the Filling

The filling is similar to my Chipotle Lentil Taco Meat recipe. Cooked lentils are cooked down with red onion, chipotles (from a can), dry seasoning and a little broth. This is such a simple taco “meat” recipe, but it has so much flavor!

I usually find cooked lentils in the produce section of the grocery store. But you can always cook them from scratch. The pre-made ones just save you some prep time.

Let everything cook down for a few minutes, then add in some lime juice & cilantro before setting it aside to cool slightly.

How to Make a Taco Crescent Ring

To make the crescent ring, roll out two cans of crescent rolls – most brands of crescent rolls are vegan, just be sure to check the label. Place a small bowl in the center of a parchment lined baking sheet. This will be your guide to create an even circle.

Place the wider edges of the crescent roll triangles closest to the bowl. You want the triangles to overlap so that a base for the filling is created. Once all of the triangles are laid out, add the lentil mixture to the center ring. Top the lentils with jalapeño slices and then remove the bowl from the center.

Take the smaller edge of each triangle and bring it up and over the lentil filling. Gently tuck it under so that the filling is secure. Brush the dough with melted vegan butter and add a few more jalapeño slices to the outside. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes – or until the dough is golden.

How to Serve

Pull the taco ring out of the oven and top with some fresh cilantro. Slice it into 16 pieces and serve with all of your favorite dipping sauces. I went with guacamole, salsa and lime wedges.

This can be eaten right away, but also tastes good at room temperature. To reheat, either place it in the oven or air fryer until the filling is warm and the crust is crispy.
