Lunch
I love wraps. I think it is my favorite lunch and even sometimes dinner! You can load a whole salad into a wrap, pair it with an amazing sauce and voila. Enjoy this sloppy joe inspired wrap made with lentils and packs a little spice.
Ingredients:
1 cup dry brown lentils
2 cups veggie broth (or just water)
3 tbsp tahini
1 tsp garlic chili sauce
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
juice of one lemon
salt a pepper
whole grain wraps
1/2 slice cucumber
Red cabbage leaves or radishio shredded
butter lettuce leaves
carrot shavings (optional)
1/2 avocado (optional)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
Instructions:
INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse and drain lentils well then add lentils and veggie broth to a sauce pan and bring broth up to a boil.
Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook lentils for 20 minutes or until lentils are fully cooked. Discard any excess fluid that is not absorbed by the lentils, cover and set aside to cool.
Add tahini, garlic chili sauce, mustard, garlic powder, adobo seasoning, lemon juice and water to a bowl and whisk until a sauce forms.
Remove lid from cooked lentils and pour in sauce. Stir in sauce well to coat lentils completely.
Add filling to a wrap with desired veggies and wrap like a burrito then serve. Refrigerate extra lentils in a Tupperware container to use for future wrap assembly throughout the week.
