We'll be traveling to Madrid on Continental & arrive at 11:35am at T1. We want to leave for Lisbon at 1:30pm on easyjet from T1. We'll have to go through customs & collect baggage & recheck it with easyjet. Do we have enough time? Thanks for any help

You're cutting it very close. If your flight into Madrid is late and you miss the easyjet check-in time, you are out of luck. You'll have to buy new tickets at much higher fares, assuming there is even a later flight to take. For me it too close for comfort, I would go for a later flight.

Because of the financial consequences of things beyond your control, this is a risk you can and should choose to avoid, for reasons explained by Michael.

I agree with the others. I would do all I can to avoid a connection that limited in time. You will expect your plane to arrive on time.
It may not, but you wont know until you land which will be too late. Flight schedules are not that reliable nowadays.
I am facing the same problem in October when I fly. I am going to gamble I will make it, but I know I'm gambling and will suffer the consequences.
