Preparation
1
Cook lentils

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Heat a medium pot over medium.
  • To the pot, 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.
  • 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.

2
Cook chorizo and prep veggies

  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan 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.**
  • 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!)

3
Bake tortilla chips

  • 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.

4
Pickle jalapeños

  • 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. 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.

5
Assemble nachos and make crema

  • 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, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime juice and 2 tsp (4 tsp) water.
  • Season with salt, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

  • Sprinkle with pickled jalapeños and remaining green onions.
  • Serve with guacamole on the side.
