Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow lentils
  • 3 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 4 large flatbreads or tortillas
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

How to Make Spiced Lentil Wraps

  1. Rinse the yellow lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the lentils and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally.
  3. While the lentils are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the cooked lentils to the skillet and mix well, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
  6. Warm the flatbreads or tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
  7. Spread a generous spoonful of the lentil mixture onto each flatbread, then top with a dollop of yogurt.
  8. Wrap tightly and serve immediately, or cut in half for easier handling.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure not to overcook the lentils; they should be tender but not mushy.
  • For an extra kick, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
  • If you prefer a smoother filling, blend the lentil mixture in a food processor after cooking.
  • Adjust the spices according to your taste; more chili powder can amplify the heat.

Easy Variations

  • Swap yellow lentils for red or green lentils based on your preference.
  • Add sautéed spinach or kale for added nutrients and flavor.
  • Include diced tomatoes or bell peppers in the lentil mixture for a fresh twist.
  • Use flavored yogurt, such as garlic or herb-infused, for a different taste experience.

What to Serve With It

  • A side salad with fresh greens and a tangy vinaigrette.
  • Sliced cucumbers or carrots with hummus for a crunchy pairing.
  • Pickled onions for a zesty contrast.
  • Extra yogurt or a spicy chutney for dipping.

Storage and Reheating

These Spiced Lentil Wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or pop them in the microwave for a quick fix.
