Instructions

1

Rinse the lentils, then simmer them in lightly salted water for 20-25 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

Season the shrimp with cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and squeeze over half of the lemon juice.

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with the remaining lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

6

Dice the tomato and thinly slice the red onion.

Warm the wraps briefly in a dry pan or microwave for easier rolling.
