Ingredients

A few handfuls of whole grain tortilla chips

1 can of lentils

1 tbsp of water

1 tbsp of chili powder

½ tsp of ground cumin

½ tsp of garlic powder

A pinch of paprika

A pinch of salt

1 green onion, finely chopped

A handful of lettuce

½ tomato, diced, or fresh salsa

2/3 cup of mozzarella cheese

¼ cup of sour cream

Directions

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add lentils (rinsed and drained) to the pan, water and add in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika and salt. Mix well and cook over low-medium heat for five minutes. You will have a good amount leftover for another meal after the nachos are made (these spicy lentils freeze well). Spread tortilla chips in a pan and add lentils on top, lettuce, green onions, tomatoes or salsa and sprinkle on mozzarella cheese. Cook on broil for a few minutes until cheese is melted. Add sour cream on top.
