Ingredients and Method
Ingredients
- 2 ButcherBox.ca air chilled boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- to taste salt
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 6 each 6" corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced for garnish
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 cup kernel corn, drained if canned
- 3 cups ButcherBox.ca 100% Organic Seaasoned Chicken Stock
- 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with chilies (such as Rotel)
- 1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
- 3 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- to taste freshly cracked black pepper
Method
- For the tortilla strips, cut the tortillas into ¼-inch strips. In a small pan, heat ¼ cup of avocado oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the tortilla strips, in small batches to the oil and fry them until they are crisp, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towel. While warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño to the pot, and cook until the onion is softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add in the chicken broth, black beans, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with juices, corn, lime juice, cilantro, ground cumin, and chili powder. Stir to combine.
- Add the chicken breasts and bring the soup to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred with two forks. Add the shredded chicken back to the pot and simmer for an additional 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon soup into bowls and top with tortilla strips, lime wedges, and sliced avocado - or any other garnishes you like.
