Ingredients
Method
- Heat oil in a skillet. Add walnuts, cumin and paprika and stir for 1 minute.
- Add lentils, tomato paste and water. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring and mashing lightly, until the mixture holds together.
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan and fill with lettuce and the lentil mixture.
A little note
Serve immediately while the tortillas are soft and warm.
Cooking tips
- Let excess liquid cook away so the lentil mixture sits in the tortilla rather than running out.
- Stir walnuts frequently at the start; their small pieces can darken quickly in hot oil.
