Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Peel, then cut half the onion (use whole onion for 4 servings) into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Core, then finely chop half the jalapeño (use whole jalapeño for 4 servings), removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños.)
  • In a strainer, rinse lentils until water runs clear.
Roast veggies
2
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add peppers, onions, corn, 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) Enchilada Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 16-18 min, stirring halfway through, until tender. Set aside. 
Start soup
3
  • Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chorizo. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, breaking up chorizo and stirring often until chorizo is cooked through.**   
  • Add Tex-Mex paste and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) jalapeños. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
Finish soup
4
  • To the same pot, add lentils, crushed tomatoes, broth concentrate and 3 cups (6 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook for 8-12 min, stirring often, until lentils soften and soup slightly thickens.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in veggies once they are cooked.
Toast chips
5
  • Meanwhile, to another unlined baking sheet, add tortilla chips, remaining Enchilada Spice Blend and 1 tbsp oil, then toss to combine. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) 
  • Toast in the top of the oven for 2-3 min, until crisp and fragrant. (NOTE: For 4 servings, toast in the top and the bottom of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
  • Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide soup between bowls.
  • Crush chips over top.
  • Dollop guacamole over top.
  • Tear cilantro and sprinkle over top.
  • Sprinkle with more jalapeños, if you like.
