  • 2 large whole wheat tortillas

Method
 

  1. Rinse the lentils under cold water, then place them in a cooking pot with 500 ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15–20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, lemon juice, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to create the lemon herb sauce.
  3. In a frying pan over medium heat, combine the cooked lentils, grated carrots, and lemon herb sauce. Stir gently for about 3–5 minutes until warmed through and well combined.
  4. Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat and divide the lentil mixture evenly between them. Top with sliced cucumber.
  5. Fold the tortillas into wraps and place them seam-side down in the frying pan. Cook for another 2 minutes over low heat until the wraps are slightly crispy on the outside.
  6. Remove from the frying pan and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Cut in half and serve with a simple side salad and a spoon of yogurt.
