Lentil Burrito (Vegan)

I love Mexican food so much and I have to say that meatless burrito or taco seemed pretty impossible to make at first. It took me a few attempts to make the meatless mixture in a way that it would be just as good as the meaty one. Even my husband who is a meat lover loves these! It’s all about the spices and textures.

My not so secret ingredient in this recipes is smoked paprika. Without it it’s just not the same. I have cheated it before when I run out and I used a teaspoon of bbq sauce. It was almost as tasty. You can do both for extra flavour!

In the tortilla wrap I added some rice, jalapeño peppers and vegan cheese. I served my burritos with guacamole, tortilla chips and corn on the hob.
