💁🏻♀️Here is my all time favorite recipe!
Tortillas made from just mung beans, topped with seasonal veggies, cooked with spices, green herbs chutney and some grilled protein (could be cheese or tofu). As a breakfast alternative for vegeterian/vegan lovers, high protein, fiber, healthy fats and lots of healing spices!
Ingredients
1 cup yellow split or green mung beans (or red lentils), washed, soaked overnight and drained
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon himalayalan salt
1/4 tsp asafoetida / hing (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Autumn masala mix or just cumin
1/2 tablespoon ghee
Seasonal veggies
Optional: Tofu or fresh cheese like halloumi or paneer
Method
Wash & drain the soaked mung beans
Place them in a blender along with ginger, spice mix, salt and hing, olive oil, (optional) chillies and about 2 tbsp of water, blend until smooth
It should be like a thick crepe batter. Add a little more water, if necessary
Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, then coat the pan with ghee
Pour ¼ cup of batter and cook until the bottom is golden and the edges begin to lift from the pan, 2-4 minutes
When you shake the pan, it should easily move. Be patient, if you try to turn too early, it might break apart
Flip the tortilla and cook the other side until it’s firm and golden, for about 2-3 minutes
Repeat steps 2-4 until finished and keep them warm by placing cooked tortillas covered in a cloth or kitchen towel or in warm oven
Place your veggies into a steam cooker and cook until tender,
Add a little olive oil (about 1 teaspoon to 1 cup of vegetables) and salt and mix well -keep warm aside
Meanwhile heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, add Sesame, sunflower and nigella (kalonji) seeds and toast them 3-4 minutes until they are lightly browned. Place in a little bowl for service. Optional: you can grill in the same pan, cheese or tofu for added protein inside the tortillas.
Take one tortilla, spread about 1/2 tablespoon of avocado salsa
Add your choice of veggies, maybe a protein like tofu, sprinkle seeds, and according to your taste some more lime juice and salt and enjoy rolled or open!
