| Instructions: | 1. Combine lentils, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are very tender, about 35 to 45 minutes.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine lentils, lime juice and cayenne. Process until smooth.
3. Meanwhile, combine all salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
4. To make burritos, reheat lentil mixture, if necessary. Spread 1/3 cup of lentil mixture down the center of each warm tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup lettuce, 2 tablespoons cheese, 1 tablespoon olives, and 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa. Fold tortillas, and serve topped with another tablespoon of salsa. Serve immediately. |
