Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) salsa (or salsa verde)
  • 1 cup (250 mL) low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked green lentils
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 6 cups (1.5 L) tortilla chips, homemade or packaged
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) light sour cream
  • 1 lime, juiced

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled Feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped cilantro
  • 6 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the salsa and broth. Stir in lentils and warm through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Add tortilla chips to the warm lentil mixture and toss to evenly coat. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for a few minutes.
  3. Warm a large pan or skillet over medium heat and add oil. When it is hot, add the eggs and fry to desired doneness.
  4. Stir together sour cream and lime juice.
  5. Arrange tortilla chips on a platter. Top with eggs and garnish with slices of avocado, red onion, Feta, cilantro, radishes, and lime wedges. Drizzle with sour cream mixture. Serve immediately.

To make homemade tortilla chips:

1/2 cup (125 mL) canola oil, divided

Repeat with remaining oil and tortilla chips.
