Instructions
- Using a strainer, drain lentils, reserving the liquid. Rinse lentils.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Combine cheddar and mozzarella cheese in a small bowl.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chorizo and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up chorizo and stirring often until peppers have softened, and chorizo is cooked through, 4-6 min.**
- Add lentils, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) reserved canning liquid and Enchilada Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until lentils are warmed through and spices are fragrant, 2-3 min.
- Stir in chipotle sauce.
- Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Layer tortilla chips, then half the cheese, lentil-pepper mixture and remaining cheese on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake nachos in the middle of the oven until cheese melts and starts to brown, 6-7 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 lined baking sheets and bake in the middle and top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- Sprinkle green onions and cilantro over nachos.
- Divide nachos between plates.
- Serve sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping.
If you've opted to add chorizo, when the pan is hot, add chorizo along with peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up chorizo and stirring often until peppers have softened and chorizo is cooked through, 4-6 min**. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
