To make the lentil taco filling, add the diced onion and spices to a skillet with a few tablespoons of the water. Cook for 5 minutes over medium-high heat until soft and fragrant. Add the cooked lentils and the rest of the water and cook for a few more minutes until the lentils are heated through and coated in the spices. If needed, add a bit of extra water if it starts to dry out.
To make the sour tofu cream, blend all the ingredients until smooth.
To assemble the salads, add a handful of romaine lettuce to a bowl then top with avocado, tomato, corn, and beans. Add a couple of tablespoons and about 1/2 cup of the lentil mixture to each salad.
