- Thinly slice green onions.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Mix together cheddar and mozzarella cheese in a small bowl.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then Beyond Meat® patties.
- Cook, breaking up patties into bite-sized pieces, until cooked through, 5-6 min.**
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the same pan (used in step 2), then peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.

- 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, Beyond Meat® 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.
