Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon olive oil, or your favorite oil
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1 cup cooked lentils
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, or less if desired
2 cups corn kernels
4 cups mixed greens or chopped lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup diced red onion

Crispy Tortilla Strips:

4 corn tortillas
cooking spray
Salt
Paprika
Garlic powder

Greek Yogurt Ranch:

1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt, or non-dairy yogurt of choice
1/4 cup diced cucumber
1 tablespoon chopped basil
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped green onion, or chives
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.  Slice the tortillas into bite sized thin strips and place on a medium sized sheet pan.  Spray with cooking spray and season with garlic powder, paprika and salt.  Bake until crispy and just starting to brown, 7-10 minutes.  Let cool and then separate into 4 equal portions.  Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag on the counter.
  2. Add all dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy.  Separate dressing into 4 small containers in equal amounts and store in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.  Add olive oil, chickpeas, lentils and all the spices.  Mix until combined and cook until heated through (to let the spices develop) about 5 minutes.
  4. Assemble bowls: I like to use these glass meal prep containers, but you could use any kind you like.  In each container add, 1/2 cup chickpea/lentil mixture, 1/2 cup corn, 1 cup lettuce, 1/4 cup tomatoes and 1 tablespoon red onion.
  5. When ready to eat top with dressing, crispy tortilla strips and any other toppings you desire.
