Vegan Lentil Wraps Recipe
Wholesome wraps packed with spicy lentils, crunchy vegetables, and tangy sauce, all snuggled in a tortilla like a flavor burrito blanket.
Ingredients
- Cooked green or brown lentils – 2 cups
- Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
- Onion chopped – 1 small
- Garlic minced – 2 cloves
- Ground cumin – 1 teaspoon
- Smoked paprika – 1 teaspoon
- Chili powder – ½ teaspoon
- Salt – ½ teaspoon
- Black pepper – ¼ teaspoon
- Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
- Fresh parsley or cilantro chopped – 2 tablespoons
- Tortilla wraps – 4 large
- Shredded lettuce – 1 cup
- Grated carrots – ½ cup
- Diced tomatoes – ½ cup
- Vegan mayo or hummus – ¼ cup for spreading
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pan. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft and transparent—like your patience on laundry day.
- Toss in garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Stir for 1 minute until your kitchen smells like spicy confidence.
- Add lentils, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 5–7 minutes until heated through. Squeeze lemon juice on top and stir.
- Remove from heat, then fold in fresh parsley or cilantro for that green goddess energy.
- Warm tortilla wraps slightly so they don’t rebel when rolling (no one likes a cold, cracked wrap).
- Spread vegan mayo or hummus on each wrap. Add lentil mixture, then top with lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes.
- Roll tightly, fold in the ends, and pretend you're a burrito artist on a mission.
- Serve immediately or wrap in foil for on-the-go fabulousness.
