Spicy Lentil Nacho Plate
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup dried lentils
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) package tortilla chips
Instructions
1
Heat the coconut oil in a cooking vessel over a moderate heat setting. Introduce the onion into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until it becomes soft and palatable, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
2
Combine the lentils, broth, chili powder, cumin, and oregano in a bowl. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then decrease the heat to a low level and let it simmer until the lentils are tender, roughly 30 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
3
In a separate cooking vessel, combine the black beans and corn. If using canned ingredients, drain them first to remove excess liquid. Cook over a moderate heat setting, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through, approximately 8 minutes.
4
Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on a serving platter. Spoon a layer of lentils over the chips, followed by a layer of black beans and corn, and finally a layer of salsa. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Serve the dish while it is still warm and inviting.
