Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown lentils
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Zucchini
• 1 Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Warm water
• 4 Whole-wheat tortillas
• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the brown lentils under cold water. Cook them in a medium pot with 3 cups of water over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the lentils are cooking, chop the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Place the chopped vegetables on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

In a small bowl, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic clove, warm water, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.

Step 7

Warm the whole-wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or the oven for a few seconds to make them pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the wraps: Place a layer of fresh spinach leaves on each tortilla, followed by a scoop of cooked lentils, a portion of roasted vegetables, and a drizzle of tahini sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 9

Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice each wrap in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
