Instructions
- First make your crispy tortilla strips. Cut tortillas in half horizontally, then into thin vertical strips. Heat the oil in a small but sturdy stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. Working in 5 or so batches, add tortilla strips and fry in the hot oil for a few minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels. While still hot, season strips with salt, to taste. Repeat for remaining batches of tortilla strips.
- Next prep your veggies. Peel and dice onion, peel and mince garlic, dice jalapeno (removing seeds if less spice is preferred) and peel and dice sweet potatoes into half-inch cubes.
- Heat a large pot or dutch oven to medium-high heat with 2-3 tsp oil. Sauté onion and jalapeño until tender, adding garlic towards the end.
- Add diced sweet potato, broth, crushed tomatoes, salsa, and spices and bring to a light boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are nice and tender. Add black beans at the end to prevent cracking and heat until warmed through.
- Stir in half the tortilla strips, saving the rest for topping each bowl of soup. Add all your favorite toppings from the list in the notes below and enjoy!
