- In today’s recipe you’ll learn how with wholesome ingredients like red lentils and quinoa, you can make delicious and nutritious flatbread or tortilla. This recipe is not only easy to make but also gluten-free, packed with protein and super-versatile. Enjoy the wholesome and protein-rich flatbreads or tortillas for your favorite wraps, tacos, or as a base for a variety of delicious dishes.
Instructions:
Begin by soaking together (or separately if you prefer, but it doesn’t make a difference) raw red lentils and raw quinoa in water overnight, preferably in the fridge. After a thorough rinse and strain, transfer the mixture to a blender. Add water and salt, then blend until the batter is silky smooth.
In a hot nonstick pan lightly brushed with some oil (we used coconut oil), pour approximately 1/3 cup of the runny batter. Cook each side for 1 to 2 minutes, just like when making a crepe but turn each side twice or more until you reach the desired flatbread / tortilla consistency or texture.
Ingredients:
These amounts were enough to make 7 medium sized flatbread or tortilla:
1/2 cup red lentils (90 g)
1/2 cup raw quinoa (100g)
1 ½ cups of water (you need to strain very well soaked lentils and quinoa)
1/2 tsp. salt
Coconut oil (or other oil of your choice for lightly brushing the pan)

I made these today and they turned out really well! What remains to be seen is how flexible they stay while being stored in the fridge but I am hopeful. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad you liked them 🙏🥰
If you like them soft, put them one on top of each other while just cooked as I did in the video. They stay really soft even after you keep them in the fridge (I keep mine for up to 1 week) or even in the freezer. You just need to warm them up for a bit and they go as in day 1.
If you like them more like a thick flatbread (drier), put them to cool down individually after they’re just cooked through 🙏🥰
@@zaracooks Awesome thank you so much! Yes I did put them on top of each other as I was cooking. I had one after they cooled off and it was still nice and soft the rest are in the fridge now. I had the first one with some chickpea "tuna" and the second with some leftover kichdi and homemade brinjal pickle rolled inside which was equally delicious. This is far better than any store-bought gluten-free tortilla made from rice, teff or cassava, those are always too hard and tough.
Enjoy your new favorite tortilla recipe 😘@@wendyfunk6877
Mine were super gummy. Maybe to much water 🤷🏾♀️
@@a.taylor3000 yes, probably the butter was a bit too runny and most likely you didn’t let them cook through enough. You need to turn back and forth as much as it takes (under low- medium heat) until they are dried out from all liquids and look well cooked. It takes some trial and error until you’ll get them perfect 🙏🥰
I just made these today, with one minor addition. I made a half batch & added 2 tsp of a mild herb blend to the batter (Litehouse Poultry Herb Blend). I filled the tortilla with my homemade white bean hummus, avocado, grated carrot & some of my homegrown alfalfa/red clover sprouts. Absolutely delicious. I have made red lentil tortillas before, but the addition of quinoa & the herbs took them to the next level. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!
So glad for you you’re getting inspired by the recipe and making tortillas you love and suit your own taste. That’s what I love about cooking and sharing recipes 🙏💓
These are delicious! I had some leftover, I cut them into wedges and air fried them. Super crunchy delicious chips! Thank you for your recipes
Thank you for the feedback 🙏 What a great idea, you made crunchy crackers / chips out of them 👏💯
Glad you’re loving the recipe 🤗
this looks great, will have to try
Excellent. Looks yummy.
Going to try this thanks
Love this 2 ingredient recipe! Love the video, and beautiful piano music, too! Great job!
Thank you 🙏 Glad you’ve enjoyed the recipe and the video 🥰
Please wash very well before soaking over night.
yes, you want to get rid of the saponin on the quinoa
I made this in waffle iron and it was awesome, Thanks for recipe
That’s fantastic 👏😍
Glad you loved it 🤗
Nice music....I tried this tonight and they came a little moist than I'd prefer but tasty!!! Thank you!!
So nice .carry on
Très bon continu
Brilliant...and healthy too 💕🙏🏽💐
Thank you 🙏
Hope you can give it a try 🥰
Love your recipes!
Thank you so much 💓
Glad if you’re getting inspired 🙏🤗
These look so simple and delicious. 😊
The best think about them is that, IMHO, they are even better than regular flour ones and you won’t even notice quinoa or lentils taste in them 😅🙏
@@zaracooks I like the earthy taste of red lentils. 👌 But I'm not too keen on quinoa, so it'll be a good way to use up the quinoa I do have. Plus flour tortillas store bought are expensive, too salty and not as nutritious as this recipe
❤
so relaxing to watch and I’m excited to try this being GF. thank u!
Thank you for such a nice compliment 🙏
Hope you’ll enjoy them 🥰
🎉❤
Looks great! Can these be done with green lentils? Can they be frozen?
Thank you 🙏
Yes, you can make wraps with green lentils but the texture and pliability won’t be the same!
Yes, you can freeze them for up to 3 months 🤗
I've also added green to the red and it wasn't as flexible. I've done it this way too and added sea salt, garlic and onion powder. Depends on how you want it to tasted.
That’s great to know 🤗
Please, feel free to experiment with different additions until you get the one you love best
How long will the batter keep in the fridge?
And what about the ready-made flatbread?
I've managed to make loads of batter, and I don't want to put it in the bin just because I cannot eat them in one go.😅
Throwing in the bin should not be an option, please 🙏
You can put them in a well sealed ziplock bag and store in the fridge for up to 1 week or for weeks in the freezer. That’s what I do! They stay great, you just need to warm them up before serving 😇
Is the video here? Why the long video ad for dementia? Then an ad for Nordstrom?! Wow! Finally, the recipe! Delish!
Sorry for you, I have absolutely no control on what kind of Ads RUclips is showing to my viewers ☺️ I guess, you know that you can skip, after few seconds, any long Ad …unless you like the creator and you decide voluntarily to support him/her by watching the whole Ad! Thank you for going through the whole thing to support me and very glad you liked the video (my video 😅) at last 🙏💓
Is it possible to freeze them for later use ?
Yes, they freeze very well! I keep mine in a sealed ziplock bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. You need to preheat them before serving though 🙏
If I don’t have Quinoa what I can use instead thanks
Buckwheat or millet will be just as good as quinoa for this recipe 🙏
Great idea, Buckwheat is wonderful for colder months. 👏
this looks lovely but i wondered if you could clarify please, it says 1/2 cup quinoa is 100g and 1/2 cup lentils is 80g are these the correct weights please? many thanks
Yes, the quantities are correct.
I get asked a lot about the weights in gram. So, for my viewers, I also weight in grams the quantities I use in my recipes in standard cups (I have at home) 🙏
😮😮😮😮😮uau😮😮😮😮❤
would green lentils work just as good?
The colour will be darker as you may think and the texture will be less flexible and smooth as with red lentils like in here 🙏
How long can you store it in the fridge?
I keep mine in a sealed ziplock bag for up to 1 weeks in the fridge. You need to preheat them for optimal softness and pliability 🙏
Is it possible to freeze thoose?
Or will they be soggy or brake apart?
I put the leftovers on a large ziplock bag well sealed in the freezer. Yes they get kind of “tight” but they don’t break. They get back very nice once reheated 🙏
Could yellow split peas be used instead of red lentils?
I tried green split peas once, yes you can make a sort of flatbread out of them, but it’s so dense! I didn’t enjoyed the taste or the texture to be honest 🙏
I used yellow split peas but they came out more like pancakes. I put maple syrup on them. They were delicious.
What does it taste like
It’s rather neutral, I would say. Usually only red tortillas lentil tastes the legume aftertaste and the only quinoa tortillas taste that strong typical quinoa taste but the combination of both ended up really more subtle! You won’t recognize neither typical tastes and it’s really good 🙏
How much water is that in dcl? ☺️
It’s the equivalent of 300 ml (3 dL) 🙏🥰
@@zaracooks ok, great, thank you for a quick response! 😇 I've already soaked the lentils and the quinoa and then realized I don't know much water I should blend them with tomorrow. Can't wait to try them out in the morning 🤗
@@Lulu-ww9tk great 👍
Please, make sure to strain all the water out after you rinse them thoroughly with running water tomorrow.
Hope you’ll get them great and enjoyable 🙏
Will do, thank you for the tip 😊 Hopefully I won't mess anything up and they'll turn out great 🤞
