Lentil Burritos

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain lentils. In a saucepan, combine lentils
    and water to boil, cover and simmer 20 minutes. They will
    be slightly undercooked. Drain if necessary.
  • In sauté pan, sauté onion, green pepper and garlic in
    canola oil, but do not brown. Add chili powder, cumin,
    cooked lentils, water and tomato paste. Stir 2 minutes until
    mixture starts to thicken. Cover and cook for another 5
    minutes.
  • Lay a tortilla flat and place 1/2 cup (125 mL) of lentil mix
    down in the center and roll up. Top each burrito with dollop
    of sour cream, salsa and light sprinkle of shredded cheddar
    cheese.

Serve and enjoy!
