Pick through and rinse the lentils.

In a large pot, cook the lentils with the garlic and 1/2 onion (or just 1/4 onion).

While the lentils are cooking, sauté the remaining onion and the chopped tomatoes in a skillet until they change color. Add the blended chipotle peppers and cook a little longer.

In another skillet, fry the bacon. Then add the chorizo and cook until it changes color. Add the hot dogs and ham, and fry everything well.

Once the lentils are cooked, add the chipotle-tomato-onion mixture and all the cooked meats to the pot.

Let it simmer a bit longer. Add water if needed. Taste and add a chicken bouillon cube or just half to avoid making it too salty, or add salt to taste.

Serve hot. (Optional: You can add pork rinds or serve with them if you like.)
