Red Lentils Wrap (Meatless Taco)

Morning Friends 🙂

We are expecting quite a few thunderstorm this week to next week, which is suck. Will be super hot most of the days, then thunderstorm most of late arvo to night. lol

I whinge a lot about weather hey, and I am from tropical country hahahah

My parents always encourage us to move to Australia or Singapore, so they can visit now and then. Canada is toooo far, but all I could think of is that am a weather snob now. Those countries are hot 😛 Now, Hawaii though, I won’t mind.

Anyways…today I have meatless taco recipe to share. I would rather call them wraps to be honest, unless when I use other type of crumbles instead red lentils.

Split red lentils are a tad softer compare to real ground beef, or meatless ground beef, kids would definitely protest saying it’s not taco, so I would call it wraps when I prepare it with red lentils.

This following dish does use meatless beef, but I still call them wraps 😛

Guacamole (serves 6)
