About the Ingredients:

These protein-rich lentil wraps are easy-to-make, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan! Making this is extremely easy and only requires two ingredients. With only lentils and water (and your choice of seasoning), you can have a cheap, sumptuously nutritious meal!

Tomatoes

For that juicy, sweet flavor, add some slices of tomatoes to your lentil wraps' fillings. Tomatoes are loaded with lycopene, a known antioxidant that can lower risk of heart disease and cancer!

Avocados

Having only 0.95 grams of sugar in a medium-sized avocado, it is known as the fruit with the lowest sugar content. So you can take a bite of your lentil wraps with the creamy nutty goodness of the avocado inside without worrying about its sugar content!

Red Lentils

Although they are toxic when eaten raw, lentils are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber. They are highly nutritious and are rich in B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Make sure to soak the lentils in water for this quick and easy recipe!

Lettuce

For that crunchy goodness, lettuce stuffing is the way to go! Considered a dieter's dream, lettuce is low in calories and packed with fiber, iron, folate, and vitamin C.

Red Onions

Subtly sweet and pleasing to the eye when added to salads, red onions are essential in leafy recipes for that burst of color and nutrients.

Questions and Tips:

What equipment can I make this recipe in?

Use a blender to blend your lentils, water, favorite seasonings, and fresh herbs together. To cook your lentil wrap batter, you can use any non-stick pan that you have.

Are the extra toppings necessary?

When it comes to leafy recipes, more toppings is almost always better! If you like it spicy, you can add chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper. However, if you simply want a burst of flavor, you can add cashew sauce, peanut butter, or guacamole!

What else can I serve with these lentil wraps?

This hearty recipe can perfectly pair with a number of equally healthy options like: wild rice bowls, caramelized onions, roasted cauliflower, spinach, and broccoli rabe. You may want to try it with my Haitian Epis Cauliflower Wings or my Vegan Cheddar Broccoli Bake.

How long does this recipe last?

As this recipe is fully vegan, it can last much longer than non-vegan dishes. When stored in a covered container, it can last up to 2 weeks in the fridge, and up to 6 months in the freezer.

Will non-vegans like this?

No doubt! These two-ingredient lentil wraps' appeal lies primarily in its easy-to-make nature. Who doesn't love a quick, sumptuous and filling meal? Not to mention the amount of nutrient goodness packed in this small yet hearty recipe. Anyone, vegan or not, will surely love this!
