Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 jalapeno pepper (diced)
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 3/4 cup dried red lentils
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 3/4 cup salsa (use mild or spicy, or salsa verde)
  • 15 ounces black beans (drained & rinsed)
  • 15 ounces red beans (drained & rinsed)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 fresh garlic cloves)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup light cream cheese (or any creamy cheese of choice, dairy-free works great too)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Crushed tortilla chips (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by prepping the vegetables. Dice the onion and red bell pepper finely.
  2. Drain and rinse both cans of beans—black beans and red beans—to remove excess sodium.
  3. Wash the dried red lentils thoroughly under cold running water. Set them aside for later use.
  4. In your slow cooker, combine all ingredients including diced onion, diced jalapeno, corn, lentils, tomato sauce, diced bell pepper, salsa, both types of beans, spices, cream cheese, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low heat. Allow it to cook for about 6 hours or until lentils are tender.
  6. Once cooked, stir well before serving. Ladle into bowls and garnish with crushed tortilla chips.
