High-protein Lentil Tortillas
Red lentils are a cheap source of plant protein that you can add to anything and find in almost all grocery stores. They’re high in protein, fiber, magnesium, folate, and potassium. These little legumes also maintain a healthy heart and good cholesterol.
All you need to know is that red lentils are good for your heart, your digestive system, and your blood. These are the ingredients to a healthy, functioning body. Did I mention this recipe has 44g of protein?
But for this recipe, it’s simple like all of my other content. Soak the lentils overnight, blend everything up then scoop the batter onto the pan at medium heat, flip after 3 minutes, and enjoy with your favorite dips or salads.
