Cooking Steps

- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Combine cheddar and mozzarella cheese in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up beef and stirring often until peppers have softened, and beef is cooked through, 4-6 min.**

- Stir in chipotle sauce.
- 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 mixture, beef-lentil mixture and remaining cheese mixture 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.
