A lentil burrito that can be eaten hot or cold. From the Chicago Tribune: 11/13/90. (I'm guessing on the prep time but it should'nt take much more than 15 - 20 minutes). It can be made with vegetable stock for vegetarians.

I just made this recipe for the 2nd time and I LOVE it! So much flavor, easy to make and freezes really well. Super healthy too! Thank you! I used whole wheat tortillas but the rest was the same.

    Our first lentil experience. My husband is not too quick to try new things but loved the lentils. Initially I just told him it was a "new" bean burrito recipe. He thought they tasted "nutty" and liked the texture. I used all veggies from garden and instead of taco sauce used a cup of fresh homemade salsa that I made yesterday. I am sure in the winter, taco sauce will add a different twist and great flavor too. Cannot wait to try other lentil recipes too!

    Tasty and easy to make, I used a bit more vegetables than suggested and topped mine with FRESH salsa instead of sour cream, but otherwise pretty closely followed the recipe. It's delightful and I'll certainly make it again (especially for my vegetarian boyfriend).

    Instead of making burritos, I made a pie. I layered the tortillas and mix in a pie plate and warmed the whole thing in the oven at 350 for 10 mins....very good!
