Whip up these exotic spiced lentil and mango wraps in just 30 minutes for a quick, nutritious dinner. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and flavor!
Ingredients
- • red lentils: 1 cup
- • vegetable broth: 2 cups
- • cumin seeds: 1 teaspoon
- • curry powder: 1 tablespoon
- • ground turmeric: 1 teaspoon
- • ripe mango, diced: 1 large
- • whole wheat tortillas: 4
- • avocado: 1 large
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh cilantro, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • red onion, thinly sliced: 1 small
- • salt: to taste
- • black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set them aside. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium heat. Add the lentils, cumin seeds, curry powder, and turmeric. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- 2 While the lentils are cooking, peel and dice the mango into small cubes. In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to create a creamy consistency. Stir in half of the chopped cilantro.
- 3 Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they're soft and pliable.
- 4 Assemble the wraps by spreading a generous spoonful of the creamy avocado sauce onto each tortilla. Layer with the spiced lentils, diced mango, and thinly sliced red onion. Sprinkle the remaining cilantro on top.
- 5 Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • These wraps pair beautifully with a light, crisp side salad featuring cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and a splash of balsamic vinaigrette. For a refreshing beverage, consider serving a chilled hibiscus tea or cucumber-infused water to complement the exotic flavors of the wraps. If you're in the mood for something a bit more indulgent, a glass of light white wine like Sauvignon Blanc can enhance the bright, fruity notes of the mango. For a perfect finish, consider a small serving of fresh fruit like sliced kiwi or a handful of berries to maintain the tropical theme and provide a final burst of freshness.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, wrap each prepared wrap tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, store the avocado sauce separately in a small airtight container to prevent browning. Reheat the wraps in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side or until warmed through. Add the avocado sauce just before serving to maintain its creamy texture.
