    4 cups (1 L) tortilla chips

    2 1/2 cups (625 mL) shredded cheddar cheese

    1 cup (250 mL) cooked green lentils

    1 ripe avocado

    1 jalapeno pepper, minced (seeds removed)

    1/4 cup (60 mL) diced fresh tomatoes

    1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped cilantro

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) minced red onion

    1 Tbsp (15 mL) lime juice

  4. Serve nachos with dollops of the avocado salsa and sour cream.
