A delicious and nutritious wrap made with red lentils and fresh vegetables, perfect for a protein-packed meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • ½ cup hummus (for spreading)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed red lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and water is absorbed.
  2. Stir in salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and black pepper. Mash the lentils slightly with a fork or potato masher to create a spreadable consistency.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach, grated carrot, and diced bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Combine the sautéed vegetables with the lentil mixture and stir well to combine.
  5. Spread a generous layer of hummus on each tortilla. Spoon the lentil and vegetable mixture onto the tortillas, then roll them up tightly.
  6. Serve immediately, or wrap in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try mixing in some feta cheese or avocado slices before rolling the wraps.
  • You can substitute the spinach with kale or arugula for a different taste and texture.
