Instructions
- Heat a medium pot over medium heat.
- Add lentils, chipotle sauce, half the Enchilada Spice Blend and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

- Cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender and water has been absorbed, 15-17 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up beef and stirring often until beef is cooked through, 4-6 min**.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.

- Add jalapeños, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) lime juice, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar to a small pot. Season with salt.
