Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

Taco Lentils (in a pressure cooker)

  • 1 cup green lentils
  • 2 cups chicken / vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

Homemade Tortilla Chips

  • Mazola Corn Oil
  • soft, corn tortilla
  • sea salt

Lima Crema

  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 4 limes
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • sea salt

Instructions

TACO LENTILS (in a pressure cooker)

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in the pressure cooker. 

  2. Set to 'manual mode' and select 16 minutes.

    After timer is done, quick release. 

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

  1. Set the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Oil your corn tortilla, placing the next tortilla on top of the last. 

  3. Cut your tortilla into fourths (I cut mine like a pizza with four pieces) and lay them on a baking sheet. Try not to overlap. 

  4. Cover them generously with sea salt. 

  5. Bake for 8-12 minutes. 

    Check after 8 minutes to see if you need to turn the baking sheet. You want the chips light brown around the edges.

LIMA CREMA

  1. Zest all four limes and juice them. 

  2. Mix into the lime zest and juice the minced garlic, salt and sour cream.

  3. Refrigerate until you're ready to use it. 

MAKING YOUR LENTIL NACHOS

  1. I put my chips, lentils, tomatoes and cheese (sharp cheddar) on my plate and then microwave it for about a minute, just to melt the cheese. 

  2. Then I add toppings like guacamole, the Lima Crema, olives, corn, kale, cilantro.
