Cook lentils

Bake tortilla chips

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
Assemble nachos

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.
