Instructions
- Shred cooked chicken into bite size pieces and set aside.
- Toast the chili in a skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds, turning often. Chili should be pliable. Discard stem and seeds and tear into pieces. Transfer the chili pieces, tomatoes and garlic to a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
- In a dutch oven add the tablespoon of oil and saute the onion for 5-8 minutes until golden. Pour in the tomato mixture and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring often. Add the chicken stock and season with salt and oregano. Reduce heat and cook 15 minutes.
- Stack the corn tortillas and cut in half. Turn each half 90 degrees and cut into half-inch strips.
- Add the chicken, corn and beans to the soup, stirring through and continue cooking, 5 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
- In a skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat and fry the corn tortilla strips until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towel lined plate.
- Serve soup in bowls and top with divided crispy tortillas strips, avocado, cilantro, pepitas and jalapenos with a squeeze lime juice.
Notes
- I use rotisserie chicken breast meat and shred into bite size pieces. You can use fresh chicken and dice into 1-inch pieces, then add to soup as instructed in Step 5, but cook for 10 minutes.
