Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup split red lentils (190 grams)
  • 1 ¼ cups water (310 milliliters)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt *
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Vegetable oil , for cooking

Instructions

Step 1: Wash and Soak Lentils

  • Wash the lentils a few times by covering the lentils with fresh water in a large bowl. Swish the lentils through the water and when the water becomes cloudy, drain the water and re-cover in more fresh water. Repeat until the water runs clear.

  • Cover the lentils with fresh water and soak for at least 6 hours.

Step 2: Drain Lentils and Blend

  • Drain the soaking water from your lentils and add the drained lentils to a high-powdered blender along with the remaining ingredients.
    1 ¼ cups water, ¾ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Blend for at least one minute, until the batter is extremely smooth. Scrape down the edges of your blender once or twice to make sure everything is super smooth.

Step 3: Cook Tortillas

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. If needed, lightly brush the pan with some vegetable oil.

  • Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, rotating the pan around so the batter spreads out fully across the pan.
  • Cook the tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side. The tortilla should be very easy to flip; if it feels like the wrap will tear when flipping, cook for longer.
  • These tortillas don’t brown too much; if they’re brown before being ready to flip, lower the heat.
  • Stir the batter before pouring each new tortilla.
  • Transfer cooked tortillas to a wire cooling rack.
