Ingredients
For Spicy Lentils
  • 1 cup lentils, rinsed
  • 1 bottle of Trader Joe's enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • Several dashes of hot sauce (to taste)
For Cheese Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
Toppings
  • Cilantro and avocado
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, combine the enchilada sauce and vegetable broth on medium-low heat until bubbling. Add the rinsed lentils and stir to combine. Bring back to a boil and then let simmer 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the hot sauce and stir. Once the lentils have soaked up most of the liquid and has a gravy-like consistency, remove from heat.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and then add in the flour, stirring to combine. Use a whisk to ensure there are no lumps. Stir in the milk and cheese, whisking until the cheese is melted and ingredients are thoroughly combined.
