1 Small Bag Baby Spinach Rough Chop
½ Bunch Cilantro Rough Chop
½ Cup Jacks Salsa (Pico)
4 Cups Roasted Vegetable Stock

Cilantro Yogurt
1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
¾ Cup Cilantro Rough Chop
¼ Cup Fresh Mint Rough Chop

Salt & Pepper To Taste

Burrito Shells
(5) 10 inch Flour Tortillas
5 Beaten Eggs
2T Cilantro Rough Chop
1 Package Monterey Jack Cheese Shredded
Salt & Pepper To taste


Sauté onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder and jalapeno in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook until onion softens, stirring often, approximately 5-6 minutes.

Stir in veg stock, salsa, yams, lentils, bay leaf and cinnamon stick.
Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until lentils and yams are tender, about 30-40 minutes.
When lentils are cooked, add in spinach, cilantro, salt & pepper.

While lentil mixture cooks, prepare yogurt sauce.
Chill until ready to use.

To Prepare the Burritos:

Combine the eggs, cilantro, salt & pepper in a large pie plate.
Heat Canola Oil in a 12″ skillet over medium-high heat.
Dip both sides of a tortilla in egg mixture, and fry in the oil until tortilla is light golden brown on one side, then flip and fry opposite side.
Sprinkle cheese on tortilla, and allow cheese to melt slightly. Remove tortilla to a work surface.

Place approximately ¾ cup of the lentil mixture on the lower third of each tortilla. Roll tortilla from the bottom, over the filling to cover.
Fold in both side, and roll to the end.

Serve with spiced yogurt sauce.
