These Protein-Packed Red Lentil & Spinach Wraps are a hearty, nourishing, and flavorful plant-based meal. Filled with spiced red lentils and fresh spinach, they’re easy to prep, satisfying, and perfect for lunches or quick dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 large wraps or tortillas

Instructions

  1. Cook red lentils in water or vegetable broth over medium heat until soft and thick, about 15–20 minutes. Drain excess liquid and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the cooked lentils and mix until well combined.
  5. Add chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, then remove from heat.
  6. Warm wraps until soft, then spoon lentil-spinach mixture onto each wrap.
  7. Roll tightly and slice in half before serving.

Notes

  • Add diced tomatoes or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
  • Spread hummus or dairy-free yogurt inside wraps for added creaminess.
  • Mix in chili flakes for a spicy version.
  • Store filling in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze only the filling for best texture; assemble wraps fresh.
