Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop green beans, jalapeno, collard greens and measure out the ranch seasoning.

Season the lentils with salt and pepper, then simmer over medium-high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes.

Add green beans, jalapeno, collard greens to the pan and cook until softened, 5 minutes.

Stir in ranch seasoning, smoked paprika and cook for another 1 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, prepare the hamburger buns according to package instructions and set aside.

Combine everything in the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer for 6 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of citrus if needed.

Serve hot, over hamburger buns, garnished with fresh herbs.
