Cooking Time: approx. 25 mins
Total Time: Soaking time + approx. 25 mins
Ingredients
1 cup red lentils
2 cups clean cold water
1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1-2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoon neutral *oil (optional)
Instructions
Wash the lentils multiple times in cold water, changing water until it runs clean. Transfer lentils to a bowl or a large measuring cup and add 2 cups of clean cold water for soaking 4-8 hours.
After the lentils have soaked transfer both the lentils and the soaking water to the blender, and blend until a creamy batter, approx. 2 mins. Transfer this mixture back into the same bowl or measuring cup and add all the seasonings and mix well with a spatula or spoon.
Heat a non-stick 12 inch pan on medium heat. With a small ladle or serving spoon pour some batter into the center of the pan and swirl the batter to spread into a thin wrap. Cook untouched for approx. 2 minutes until bubbles start to appear and batter starts to look dry around the edges.
Gently glide a slotted or solid turner under the wrap to lift it up and flip it to cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer the cooked wrap and place it between a clean dish cloth, covering all sides. This will help ensure the wrap stays soft and supple without steaming and breaking apart. Place the wraps in the dish cloth onto a large plate or a tortilla holder and place in the refrigerator.
These wraps can be easily reheated in the microwave for 15-30 seconds and ready to be loaded with your favorites, or to eat as is.
