Layered with texture and flavor, nachos are pure comfort food. In this recipe, lentils are cooked with zesty Mexican spices to give the nachos a β€œmeaty” element, and then topped with gooey 3 Cheeze Blend and Queso Fresco. Once they’re out of the oven, they’re topped with avocado, salsa, scallions, making these truly the ultimate loaded nachos.
