Finally I have a great recipe to share with you using those awesome Paleo Wraps I got a few weeks ago! Let me start by saying, I am so glad I bought them! They are incredible! I thought they would be inflexible and break, or even just taste really nasty, but I was so wrong! O Julian’s bakery is my new best friend! The wraps are totally flexible and when you add something hot to it, the wrap basically “melts” on to the filling and creates the perfect burrito! It even stays closed when you wrap the baby up! I was worried about this after many failed sushi rolling attempts.
The wraps are made out of 3 simple ingredients which as all coconut! Coconut meat, coconut water, and unrefined virgin coconut oil! They are organic, gluten-free, grain-free, egg-free, salt-free, dairy-free, paleo, sugar-free, vegan, low-carb, raw, soy-free, and yea, basically amazing! You know, I should have posted this for Cinco de Mayo, but I didn’t. Burritos are Mexican right? Well, I am always late with this stuff anyway, what’s new! So for the filling of my burrito I used lentils (not paleo, haha! I ruined it), nooch, tomato paste, and sourkrout! Crazy combo that tasted so amazing. The slight coconut taste of the wrap even worked well with it giving it a slightly sweet touch. Perfection!
Lentil Paleo Wrap Burrito
MY LATEST VIDEOSIngredients: (serves 1)
+ 1 Paleo Wrap
+ 1/4 Cup Green Lentils
+ 2 TB Nutritional Yeast
+ 1 TB Tomato Paste
+ 1/4 Tsp Onion Powder
+ 1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
+ 1/2 Tsp Turmeric
+ 3 TB Sourkrout
Directions:
+ In a small sauce pot, bring cook your lentils according to directions. When they are done, add in the nooch, tomato paste, and spices. Stir to combine.
+ Lay out your paleo wrap on a plate and spoon on the lentil mixture on one half of the wrap. Then place your sourkrout on top of the lentil mixture.
+ Now roll the wrap up and make a burrito! It will stick together, just place the seam side down for a minute and let it warm up.
I served my delicious wrap with a side of baked cinnamon Okinawan Sweet Potato Chips! (And some Nomato!) Yum, yum, in my tum. Haha yes I just said that 😉 But hold on I have some important Gluten-Free Challenge info for you too! Writing up this post, I thought about Chipotle. And then I though about how people think they can get safe gluten-free food there if they choose a burrito bowl or corn tortilla. Well WRONG! I came across this article a few weeks ago and it is so true. Yes, cross-contamination is just blinking with big bright letters all over that place. That also got me thinking about all the hidden sources of gluten people might over look when they are new to being gluten-free. So I complied a short list of some of the common food and ingredients that can contain gluten. They might not contain gluten, but most commonly they do unless otherwise stated. So please, always, always read those labels kids!
So play-dough. I used to lick that stuff as a kid! Who hasn’t tasted play-dough, right? Please tell me I am right! It was so salty…and contained gluten. Better watch out! You can make your own though, so no worries!
So tell me:
+ What is your favorite burrito filling? Something traditional or something crazy?
+ Did you ever eat play-dough as a kid…or at least taste it? I mean come on, they even made play sets that would mimic food making. That is just asking for kids to eat the stuff! Thank god they say it is non-toxic 😉

I’ve been loving those wraps lately! Have you tried heating them a bit? I love the added crunch!
Well they get hot and melty when I stuff them with the lentils, but I haven’t eaten them any other way yet!

A really interesting and healthy combination of ingredients. Thanks for sharing your wrap with us on foodie friday. Pinning.
Well thank you Diane!
Good article .Another hidden source of gluten is in cosmetics or personal care products like deodorant.
Yup! Basically anything that has an ingredient list should be checked out!
Send one over here 😉 Thanks for linking up to this recipe to #RECIPEFRIDAY!
Haha, you would totally love these!
I didn’t know about makeup and playdough being sources of gluten contamination. Thanks for sharing with Real Food Fridays.
Yes! They are the big one people always over look!
I need to get myself some of those wraps! They look truely amazing! Thanks for sharing your recipe. I made glutenfree playdough recently for my kids…gluten gets everywhere!!!
They are so awesome!
I know, it can be very sneaky and that’s why it is so important to be vigilant!
Cool! This looks amazing – I can’t wait to try the wrap! I have been using rice paper wrappers in the past, but am avoiding grains now. Thanks for sharing this!
You can find them online, they are a bit expensive, but so worth it!
Thanks for sharing my gluten-free play dough post!
O, your welcome! Thank you for being my example 😉
Can you just come over and cook for me? Your blog always makes me super hungry
Haha sure! I would love to 🙂
Wow amazing there are such healthy paleo wraps available. This looks delicious and lentils are so good for you anyway! Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays
Thanks love! 🙂
That sounds wonderful Rebecca! A wrap sounds perfect right now 🙂 When I went gluten free for a month, I could not believe all the hidden things it was in after reading a similar post, but if you really committed for life, you would have to be very careful of it, or you are essentially undoing all the work you are doing to stay away from them. Posts like this will be very helpful!
Thanks Tina! I’m glad you liked it. All about raising awareness, it is so so important!
Paleo wraps – I need em
You do!
This looks so yummy, thanks for the great recipe.
Your mighty welcome love 😉
I never thought of using lentils in wraps, but it looks lovely. Must give it a try
Its the perfect vegan burrito filling 😉
I’ve been hearing such awesome reviews of those wraps. I want some! they sound delicious – as does your recipe. Thanks for sharing. Also, I’m glad you posted the GF info too. I can’t tell you how many people aren’t aware of that fact that gluten is in condiments like ketchup.
Have a fabulous day!
Totally try them if you get the chance! They are so so good 😉
I know! Especially the make-up thing. If you use a lipstick that contains a gluten-derived ingredient…you are ingesting gluten.
