Instructions
- Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Core, then finely chop half the jalapeño (whole jalapeño for 4 ppl), removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
- Rinse lentils in a strainer until water runs clear.
- Add peppers, onions, corn, half the Enchilada Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Bake in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender, 18-20 min. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) jalapeños and Tex-Mex paste. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up beef and stirring often until beef is cooked through, 4-6 min.** Drain and discard excess fat, if desired.
- Add lentils, broth concentrate and 3 cups (6 cups) water to the same pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until lentils soften, 10-15 min.
- Add crushed tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soup thickens slightly, 5-6 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in veggies once they are cooked.
- Meanwhile, add tortilla chips, remaining Enchilada Spice Blend and 1 tbsp oil to another unlined baking sheet, then toss to combine. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.)
- Toast in the top of the oven, until crisp and fragrant, 2-3 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, toast in the top and the bottom of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide soup between bowls.
- Dollop guacamole over top.
- Tear cilantro and sprinkle over top.
- Sprinkle with more jalapeños, if desired.
- Crush as many tortilla chips over soup as desired. Serve any remaining chips on the side.
If you've opted to add beef, heat pan over medium-high. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and beef, along with jalapenos and Tex-Mex paste. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up beef and stirring often until beef is cooked through, 4-6 min.** Drain and discard excess fat, if desired. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
