Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Add lentils, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) reserved canning liquid and Enchilada Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until lentils are warmed through and spices are fragrant, 2-3 min. 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, lentil-pepper mixture and remaining cheese on the prepared baking sheet.
