Burrito w/ Black Lentils, Hardboiled Eggs, & Bananas

A lentil burrito is the perfect substitute for refried or black beans when
you're on the go. Add a little egg and banana for a breakfast kick. This all
came about when I made a fun Salad w/ Black Lentils, Hardboiled Eggs, & Tomatoes
[https://catfishoutofwater.com/salad-w-black-lentils-hardboiled-eggs-tomatoes/].
Never one to waste an opportunity to turn something that maybe shouldn't be into
a burrito! I noticed the bananas on my counter and thought, that's the perfect
sweet and savory addition. The savory berbere spice blend pairs incredibly well
with the sweetness of the bananas and the robustness of the black lentils. I
always like to add a little spicy kick of hot sauce. But this kind of recipe
just goes to show that, you just need to go for it and experiment with what you
have on hand. Sometimes it works out incredibly well!

Instructions

1 Prepare Lentils w/ Ginger & Turmeric
[https://catfishoutofwater.com/lentils-w-ginger-turmeric/]. This takes less than
an hour and requires a rice cooker or stove. You can also easily create a
different flavor profile or utilize the produce that you have on hand. I almost
always keep a batch of quinoa in the fridge for exactly this purpose. I used
calabaza squash, habaneros, garlic, turmeric, red onions, and coconut oil.
2 Cook Hardboiled eggs.
3 Preheat the pan on medium-high. If you aren't using cast iron, make sure to
lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.
4 Wet both sides of the tortilla and add to the preheated pan. Cook for 4-6
minutes, or until the bottom begins to brown.
5 Remove the tortilla from heat and turn the stove off. Add lentils, egg, and
banana and fold the burrito.
6 Turn the stove back up to medium and add the tortilla to the skillet
immediately, before it preheats. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the bottom
begins to brown. Rotate until all sides are cooked.

The first side will likely take longer to cook than the subsequent sides, which
may toast in as little as 2 minutes. Adjust the temperature if it's cooking too
quickly and burning or too slowly and cracking.
7 Top with sour cream and hot sauce of choice. I like to use Greek yogurt because
it's oftentimes healthier than sour cream and pairs well with a lot of the same
flavor profiles. Omit or substitute with a vegan alternative for an entirely
animal-product free recipe.
8 Serve immediately.
