Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

  • 1 cup finely chopped onion

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 cup dried lentils

  • 2 ½ 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

Directions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place onion in skillet and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute.

  2. Stir in lentils, broth, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Combine black beans and corn in a saucepan (if using canned beans and corn, drain first). Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through about 8 minutes.

  4. Spread tortilla chips on a serving platter. Spoon a layer of lentils on the chips, then a layer of black beans and corn, and then salsa. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Serve while still warm.
