Instructions

To make the filling

  • In a medium sized pot add 2 cups water and the rinsed red lentils. Stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cover the pot. Boil lentils for approximately 20 minutes until they are soft.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the bulgur. Mix well and cover the pot for approximately 30 minutes until all of the water has been absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium sized pan heat the olive oil. Add the cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes and the chopped onions. Cook for approximately 5 minutes over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent.
  • Stir the onion mixture, including the cooking oil, into the bulgur and lentil mixture. Add the parsley, green onions, salt and pepper and mix well. Allow to cool completely.

To make the tahini slaw

  • In a medium sized bowl combine the grated cabbage, carrots and parsley. Mix well.
  • In a smaller bowl make the tahini dressing. Combine the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, water, red pepper flakes and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk or a fork.
  • Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat.

To assemble the wraps

  • Spread 1 tablespoon of prepared hot pepper spread along one side of the tortilla wrap. Top with 1/6 of the lentil mixture and 1/6 of the coleslaw. Wrap your tortilla by first folding in the sides and then rolling to enclose the filling.
  • To serve, cut your tortilla wrap in half with a sharp knife.
  • Enjoy!
