CHEESY LENTIL-AND-BLACK-BEAN NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium saucepan, cook mushrooms over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates and they're browned in places, 4 to 5 minutes. Add oil, 1 cup onion, garlic, and chopped chile; cook until softened, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add chili powder, 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Stir in lentils, crushed tomatoes, and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender and sauce has thickened slightly, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in beans; cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread half of tortilla chips in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Top evenly with half each of lentil mixture and cheese. Repeat with remaining chips, lentil mixture, and cheese. Bake until cheese melts, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with tomatoes, cilantro, remaining 1/2 cup onion, and sliced chile; serve immediately with a squeeze of lime.

INDIVIDUAL NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Build six stacks on a rimmed baking sheet by alternately layering tortilla chips with your favorite toppings, such as black beans, salsa, sliced jalapeno chiles, and shredded cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and stacks are warm throughout, about six minutes. Garnish with sour cream (why hold back now?), and serve immediately.

• Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Top with radishes, jalapenos, and cilantro; serve with sour cream, salsa, and avocado.

In a small saucepan, whisk together cream cheese and milk over medium heat until combined, 2 minutes. Whisk in blue cheese and 1/2 cup Gouda. Bring to a boil and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and hot sauce.
• Drizzle cheese sauce evenly over chips, then sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Gouda. Bake until bubbly and crisp at edges, 5 to 7 minutes. Top with jalapeno, sour cream, and chives; serve.
