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.

It's mainly about texture. Black lentils hold the firmest texture, then green (Puy), then brown; and red lentils pretty much just cook down to mush no matter what I do.

    Completely agree with the texture note. Beyond that, I think it's really the spice blend that does the trick. My wife and I eat tofu tacos all the time, and if you use a nice blend of chili powders (my favorites are ancho or chipotle), cumin and Mexican oregano it comes out pretty fantastic.
