I whipped these Black Bean & Lentil Nachos up for my family last week and they were a hit! They’re easy to make and husband and toddler approved! This simple meal will definitely be part of our monthly rotation.

The black beans and lentils are hearty, smoky, and so flavorful! Paired with crunchy chips, fresh pico de gallo, and a generous sprinkle of vegan cheddar shreds, it’s a match made in nacho heaven (aka my oven!)

For a healthier option, try using baked tortilla chips or throwing the toppings over a bowl of brown rice.
