Rinse the split red lentils and quinoa thoroughly until the water runs clear. This is an important step, as quinoa can otherwise be quite bitter.
Soak in a large volume of water for 2 hours minimum to 7 hours (recommended). Drain, and rinse again.
Blend with 1 cup of fresh water and salt (or spices of choice) until perfectly smooth.
Heat up a non-stick pan on medium heat and brush ¼ tsp of oil if using. Pour ¼ of the batter and flatten it with the back of a spoon or ladle. Cook for 2 minutes until the top side of the wrap looks dry. Lift slightly to check that the underside appears to have cooked properly, and make sure there are no sticky points, by gently moving the wrap with the spatula. Then flip, cooking for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the rest of the batter, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

Notes
Oil-Free Option: make sure you have a very good non-stick pan.
Salt-free option: swap for your spices of choice.
Tips to cook your wraps to perfection:
Use a good non-stick pan
If you notice your wrap is sticking to your pan, use a little bit of oil. Ideally, brush the oil onto the pan, or if you do not have a brush, pour a little bit on a paper towel and gently rub the pan (be careful not to burn yourself) with it.
Wait until the pan and oil are hot before pouring in the batter. The batter should sizzle as it hits the pan.
Only flip wraps once. Slightly lift the wrap to check it is cooked underneath before flipping, and gently move it around with the spatula to make sure there are no sticky spots.
