Ingredients for 6 red lentil tortillas:
- 250 g Red lenses
- 500 ml water¹
- 1/4 tsp sea-salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
Preparation:
Place all ingredients in the container of a high speed blender and soak for 3–4 hours. Then blend until the contents are very smooth, about 2–3 minutes on high speed.
A big, non-stick ceramic pan set to medium heat. Pour 250ml of batter into the center of the pan and swirl the pan in a circular motion to create a large tortilla. Cook on one side for 4–5 minutes until the tortilla pulls away from the edges, then flip and cook on the other side for another 1–2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature with parchment paper between tortillas for 1–2 days.

¹Note from Astrid: In my experience, these red lentil tortillas seem to need a little more water, otherwise you won’t be able to bake 6 tortillas from them because the dough is too thick. The dough didn’t pan well during my test baking. So I would take about 50 to 100 ml more water by adding the water sip by sip at the end. In the original it is only 500 ml of water.
