Preparation
1
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.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender and water has been absorbed, 15-17 min.
Remove from heat.
Season with salt and pepper.
2
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
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.
Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min.
Remove from heat. Transfer jalapeños, including pickling liquid, to a medium bowl.
Set aside in the fridge to cool.
4
Arrange tortilla chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Drizzle with 1 1/2 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 until warmed through, 2-3 min.
5
Sprinkle cheese, tomatoes and half the green onions over tortilla chips.
Return tortilla chips to the middle of the oven and bake until cheese has melted, 3-4 min.
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.
6
Remove nachos from the oven and drizzle lime crema over top.
Dollop chipotle lentils over top.
Sprinkle with pickled jalapeños and remaining green onions.
