Recipe | Lentil Nachos

I posted this picture on facebook and got a few comments about how good it looked and a request to blog the recipe. So here we are.

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry red lentils, rinsed well under cold water
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 3/4 cup Colby Jack cheese
• 1 package of taco seasoning
• Pita chips
• jalapeno is optional, for a bit of added spice

Instructions

• Put the lentils in a pot, with the water, on medium.
• Once boiling, reduce temp to low.
• Add in the taco seasoning.
• Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and the liquid is absorbed. 
• Turn off the heat.
• Add in the cheese and cover for an additional minute or so, or until the cheese is melted.
• Serve over pita chips.
