Method
Chili
- In a large pot, cook oil, onions, garlic, celery, cumin, chile flakes, salt, lentils, and water for 15-20 minutes. If the mixture is too dry or is starting to burn, deglaze the pot with 1/2 cup of water.
- Add red peppers, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, kidney and black beans, salsa, and barbeque sauce. Simmer over low heat for 20-30 minutes. Deglaze the pot with an additional 1/2 cup water if the mixture becomes too dry.
- Finish with cilantro and lime juice. Store excess chili in a sealed container in the fridge.
Assembly
- Heat the hot dog, drizzled with oil, on the barbeque, flipping to cook both sides.
- Spread mayo and ketchup on a whole wheat wrap. Place hot dog in wrap and top with chili, a sprinkle of vegan cheese and green onion.
- Roll up the wrap and enjoy.
