1. Rinse lentils until water runs clear, then combine with vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to gentle simmer, and cook 20-25 minutes until tender but not mushy (check them after 15 minutes).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté about 3 minutes until fragrant and starting to soften.
3. Toss in bell pepper strips and cook 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp (you want some bite left).
4. Drain lentils (save a little cooking liquid), then stir into veggie mixture with oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes to blend flavors, adding a splash of cooking liquid if it looks dry.
5. While lentils cool slightly, prep your fresh ingredients—dice cucumber, halve tomatoes, and lightly salt tomatoes if you have 5 minutes to spare.
6. Warm wraps in a dry skillet for 30 seconds each side until pliable. Fill with lentil mixture, fresh vegetables, olives, and feta. Roll up and enjoy immediately (if you can wait that long).

Notes:

• Seriously, rinse those lentils well—nobody wants gritty wraps

• If your wraps keep cracking, warm them properly—cold wraps are stubborn wraps
• Taste the lentil mixture and adjust salt—it should be well-seasoned on its own

Storage Tips:

• Store lentil mixture separate from fresh veggies in the fridge for up to 4 days
• Don’t freeze the fresh vegetables—they’ll turn sad and soggy
• Reheat lentil mixture gently on the stovetop with a splash of water if needed
• Microwaving turns the wraps into rubber, so stick to stovetop reheating
