Best Recipe for Lentil and Feta Burrito with Peas and Broccoli Guacamole Dip and Three Chile Tomatillo Salsa

Ingredients

  • 1/2 onion, julienned
  • 4 cups vegetable stock, or water
  • 1/2 cup lentils
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper
  • 8 ounces portobello mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels, toasted
  • 2 red potatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, trimmed and washed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese
  • 6 flour tortillas, warmed
  • 6 sprigs fresh cilantro, garnish
  • 6 radishes, washed and trimmed

Instructions

  1. Begin by making the salsa and gaucamole and set aside.
  2. Lightly spray a saute pan with vegetable spray and saute the onion for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the stock or water and bring to a simmer. Add the lentils and cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 25 minutes or until the lentils are soft. Drain in a colander and allow to cool.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. In a separate saute pan over medium high heat, saute the portobellos, corn, and potatoes in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the spinach, garlic, oregano, and chili flakes and cook an additional 5 minutes. Fold the lentils together with the mushroom mix. The veggie mix should not be dry, but should be moist, but not too wet or they will make the tortilla soggy. Add the feta and fold in well.
  5. On the stove, heat a dry saute pan or frying pan over low heat and warm each tortilla. Cover the hot tortillas with a cloth napkin, tea towel or just place them in a plastic bag so they don’t dry out. Tortillas are easier to work with when they have been warmed. Place 2 tablespoons of the lentil veggie mix in the lower part of each tortilla and roll them up. Lightly spray an oven proof dish with vegetable spray and place the burritos seam side down. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake on the center rack in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the burritos are very hot. Serve with salsa and guacamole.
