🌯 Ingredients

For the Burritos:

  • 4 large tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free)
  • 1 cup cooked lentils or sliced seitan/vegan protein
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 red bell pepper, roasted or sautéed
  • ½ cup chopped tomatoes
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Creamy Peruvian Green Sauce:

  • ½ ripe avocado
  • ¼ cup vegan mayo or plain vegan yogurt
  • 1 small jalapeño or chili (seeded for mild, or leave seeds for spice 🌶️)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
  • Salt to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the filling:
In a skillet, warm your lentils or seitan with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add corn, roasted peppers, and tomatoes. Cook for 3–4 minutes until heated through.

2️⃣ Make the green sauce:
Blend avocado, vegan mayo, jalapeño, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt until creamy. Adjust lime and salt to taste.

3️⃣ Assemble the burritos:
Lay a tortilla flat and fill the center with the warm lentil mixture, diced red onion, and a drizzle of the green sauce. Sprinkle cilantro on top.

4️⃣ Roll it up:
Fold in the sides and roll tightly. You can toast the burrito on a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side to get it warm and golden. 🌯✨

5️⃣ Serve:
Slice in half, drizzle extra sauce on top, and enjoy with your favorite sides — rice, salad, or roasted potatoes!

💡 Tips

🌾 Use quinoa or brown rice inside the burrito for extra heartiness.
🔥 Add pickled red onions or jalapeños for a tangy kick.
🌮 The green sauce also doubles as a fantastic dip for chips or roasted veggies!

💚🌯 These Vegan Peruvian Burritos are fresh, flavorful, and totally satisfying. Every bite bursts with color and bold taste — smoky lentils, crisp veggies, and that creamy cilantro sauce. It’s the kind of meal that makes you excited for dinner every single time! 😍✨
