Flexible and Versatile Protein-Rich Lentil Tortillas
As a vegan who eats primarily gluten-free, I love experimenting with ingredient swaps that fit my dietary needs and taste delicious. I’ve already shared recipes for regular gluten-free tortillas and keto almond flour tortillas. However, when I want to inject the dish with even more plant-based power and nutrients, I love turning to recipes like my easy spinach tortillas or these protein-rich red lentil wraps!
Lentils are one of my most popular pantry staples. They’re packed with fiber and plenty of plant-based protein (a must for any vegan household). They’re also an excellent source of several micronutrients, like iron, folate, potassium, zinc, etc. So, along with using them to make tasty lentil stew and red lentil dahl, I also use them to prepare a high-protein lentil bread, egg-free vegan omelette, and now these red lentil tortillas.
I haven’t even gotten to the best part… These protein tortillas require just TWO ingredients as a base. More so, while you need to account for time to leave the lentils soaking, the actual hands-on effort needed for these, is the bare minimum. Just soak, blend, and pan-fry!
With the neutral flavor of red lentils, these protein wraps will work for both sweet and savory toppings/ fillings, too, AND they’re freezer-friendly. So, there’s no excuse not to whip up a batch (or two) now!

The Ingredients
These lentil wraps require just two inexpensive, pantry-friendly ingredients that are likely already in your kitchen.
Lentils: You’ll need dry red lentils for this lentils wrap recipe. Brown lentils also work, but you’ll only need ½ cup (100g), and they’ll need to soak for 10 hours at least. Other lentils may also work, but I haven’t tried, so I can’t guarantee results.
Vegetable broth: Regular or low-sodium broth will work. Alternatively, you could use a combination of water and salt (especially if you plan to make sweet wraps).
What Can I Add to Lentil Wraps For More Flavor?
Spices: For more flavorful savory lentil flatbread/ wraps, I like to add a mixture of several spices, including:
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Smoked paprika
Other spices will also work, like turmeric, chili, cayenne powder, cumin, garam masala, curry powder, black pepper, etc.
Herbs: Several herbs pair well with lentils, like dried oregano or thyme. Fresh herbs would also work, like parsley, cilantro, mint, etc.
Sweetener: If you’re planning to use these wraps for sweet fillings/toppings, you could add a small amount of sweetener (refined, unrefined, or a sugar alternative) to the batter. Just note that sugars will lead to more browning/ risk of burning.
