Gets an A++ from me! So so yummy! 
I did add a 1-1/2 tsp of cumin in with the other ingredients.
Then topped mine with avocados, sour cream and my favorite hot sauce! Will be making again.

This was delicious and made lots! Added some feta and diced tomatoes on top afterwards.

I didn’t double the recipe but I did use 2 lb of chicken breast instead of 1 lb. I kept the cooking time the same and it was delicious! I’ll make it again!

Did you end up doubling it? I’m going to try tomorrow and would appreciate your tips!

This is SO helpful! I had the same question! Thank you

YES! I have been looking for new lentils recipes!!! This looks like a winner!

I just got my Instant Pot and this was the second recipe I made.  I used a sprouted lentil trio that was delicious.  It is amazing.  I looked forward to lunch all morning!

I would've never thought of combining lentils and salsa but it works! I made this for lunch this week and then froze the rest. Super delicious as always!
