Preparation

Soup Preparation

1. Cook the Chicken

In a pot, add the chicken breasts and cover with water. Boil for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the chicken, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3. Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked chicken, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

4. Simmer the Soup

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Tortilla Strips Preparation

5. Prepare Tortilla Strips

While the soup is simmering, stack the corn tortillas and cut them into thin strips.

6. Fry the Tortilla Strips

In a pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tortilla strips in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving the Soup

7. Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a wedge of lime. Serve the crispy tortilla strips on the side.
