Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked lentils
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables. Slice bell peppers into thin strips and avocado into smooth slices.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cooked lentils with sriracha sauce, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix to ensure even coating and flavor distribution.
- Warm the cooked rice slightly to enhance its pliability and make it easier to handle in wraps.
- Lay out clean, crisp lettuce leaves on a flat surface as your wrap base. Large butter lettuce or romaine leaves work best for structural integrity.
- Create layers in each wrap by first spreading a thin base of warm rice, then adding the spicy seasoned lentils on top.
- Carefully arrange sliced bell peppers and avocado on top of the lentil mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf and roll tightly, creating a neat and compact wrap.
- Optional: Slice wraps diagonally for easier handling and more appealing presentation.
- Serve immediately to enjoy maximum freshness and crisp texture of the ingredients.
Tips
- Choose Large, Sturdy Lettuce Leaves: Opt for butter lettuce or romaine for the best wrap structure and minimal tearing.
- Temperature Matters: Slightly warm rice helps with flexibility and enhances wrap rolling.
- Seasoning Technique: Thoroughly mix sriracha with lentils to ensure every bite is consistently spicy.
- Slice Vegetables Thin: Thin bell pepper and avocado slices make wrapping easier and improve overall texture.
- Serve Immediately: These wraps are best enjoyed fresh to maintain crisp lettuce and optimal ingredient temperature.
- Prep Ahead: Cook lentils and rice in advance to make assembly quick and convenient.
- Customize Your Heat: Adjust sriracha quantity to match your personal spice preference.
