If you had to make freezer burritos and wanted to use lentils what recipe would you use?

I have used lentils as a replacement for ground beef in sloppy joes.

Having things in the freezer you can microwave can save you a fortune when cravings kick in.

What recipe would you use to create mini freezer buritoes with lentils instead of ground beef?

Make sure to specify which type of lentils you would use.

When I have money I want to try a few test batches.

Hear me out: if you want to use lentils, how about a curry burrito? Make a coral lentil curry, pop a couple spoonfuls on a wrap, add rice, some veggies of choice if you want, roll it up and freeze.

I've never done that before and I don't know if it already exists but seeing your post inspired me and now I'm hungry.

    This is basically what I do with my leftovers after I make lentil and chickpea curry with rice, except I also fry them to turn them into chimichangas. It's a good way to eat all the leftovers without feeling like I'm eating the same meal for 3 days in a row.

    Here's the recipe for the curry if anyone wants to try it out. It's vegan, but you can sub in dairy products if that's what you have on hand. I normally add a can or two of chickpeas.

    If you're making it a curry, why use a tortilla?

    I've had these premade "kati street wraps" with "paratha bread" before and liked them quite a lot, so I would be very interested in a DIY recipe (either with the lentils OP asked about or with chicken as in the version I bought).

    I feel like the paratha bread in particular would be a very large upgrade and worth the extra effort.
