Cooking Steps
- Heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and beef, to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 4-6 min, breaking up beef and stirring often, until cooked through.** Remove and discard excess fat, if you like.
- 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.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook for 15-17 min, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender and water has been absorbed.
- Remove from heat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Zest, then juice lime.
- Thinly slice jalapeño into 1/4-inch rounds, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange tortilla chips.
- Drizzle with 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) oil, then season with remaining Enchilada Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 2-3 min, until warmed through.
- To a small pot, add jalapeños, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) lime juice, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar. Season with salt.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat. Transfer jalapeños, including pickling liquid, to a medium bowl.
- Set aside in the fridge to cool.
- Sprinkle cheese, tomatoes and half the green onions over tortilla chips.
- Return tortilla chips to the middle of the oven and bake for 3-4 min, until cheese has melted.
- Meanwhile, combine sour cream, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime juice and 2 tsp (4 tsp) water in a small bowl.
- Season with salt, then stir to combine.
- Remove nachos from the oven and dollop chipotle lentils over top.
- Drizzle lime crema over top.
- Sprinkle with pickled jalapeños and remaining green onions.

If you've opted to add beef, heat a large pot over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, breaking up beef and stirring often, until beef is cooked through.** Remove and discard excess fat, if you like. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
