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

Steps:

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.
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.
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.
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.
