Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 6 tortillas, corn or whole wheat
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 garlic cloves or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 can diced tomatoes and green chilis
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans no salt added diced tomatoes
- 1 box low sodium or no salt added chicken broth
- 1 (15 ounce) can no salt added corn, drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can no salt added black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cans chicken breast or 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- Juice from 1 lime (about 1 tablespoon)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Using scissors or a pizza cutter, cut tortillas into ½ inch wide strips. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and coat lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake tortillas until lightly crisp, about 10 minutes. Flip tortillas about halfway through for even cooking. Set aside and let cool.
- If cooking fresh chicken, cook in skillet or oven until internal temperature has reached at least 165◦F. Chop and set aside.
- Place large pot over medium heat. Add oil and chopped onion. Cook until onions are no longer white and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in spices and cook for 1 more minute. Add tomatoes and chicken broth. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Let boil for 2 minutes.
- After boiling for 2 minutes, add corn, black beans, chicken, tortilla strips, and lime juice. Cover pan and remove from heat. NOTE: You may reserve a few tortilla strips and sprinkle them on top for a crunchy texture. Let sit for about five minutes, or until tortilla chips begin to soften.
- If desired, top with shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream or non-fat plain Greek yogurt before serving.
