Ingredients 

Labelled ingredients on a white background.

We make red lentil tortilla wraps using a few simple ingredients. 

  • red lentils - a plant-based great source of protein. One cup of cooked red lentils has 17.8 grams of protein and 230 calories. Excellent source of fiber, folate, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and a good source of magnesium. They are also low in sodium and saturated fat. In order to make red lentil wraps we need to soak the lentils and in that way we also neutralize the phytic acid. 
  • water - we use 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of dry lentils 
  • optional - you can use different spices depending on what you will eat your lentil pancakes with. Either curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, oregano, cumin, italian herbs. 

How to make red lentil tortillas? 

You need a non-stick pan for this recipe. The best non-toxic option for non-stick pans are cast-iron pancake pans.

7. Use a ladle to pour the batter on the center of the pan and move in circular motion to spread evenly. Cook until small bubbles start to form on the lentil wrap and you can flip it easily (about 3 minutes) 

8. Flip and let it cook for another few minutes. 

9. Repeat until you have used up all the batter.

Variations and substitutions 

  • spicy lentil wrap - add chili flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture before blending
