Taco Soup With Home Made Tortilla Strips
Monday, October 03, 2011
This is the dish I make when I don't have time to make dinner...or I don't know what else to make. It is a delicious comfort food and I always have the ingredients on hand. My kids love taco soup. I do too because it has very little fat (sans tortilla strips). This recipe makes a ton so I usually pack some up and give it to my neighbor, or I freeze it for another day. Coincidentally, This recipe was given to me by
Amber Tamblyn's cousin when I was living in Dallas. De-lish. Try it sometime.
I guarantee you'll like it.
Combine corn, tomatoes, taco seasoning, black beans and kidney beans. Let simmer on medium until flavors are infused. While cooking, make your tortilla strips.
Take 2 corn tortillas and cut into strips with pizza cutter. We like semi-thick strips.
Place in heated vegetable oil for 1-2 minutes until stiff and crispy.
Place on paper towel to drain.
Place on paper towel to drain.
Then, take a rotisserie chicken (any flavor) from your favorite grocery store and cut off 1-2 cups meat. Cut into cubes and add to the soup.
Mmmmm it smells so good. Stir in the chicken and let simmer for a few minutes.
Layer soup with cheese, tortilla strips, avocado and sour cream. My husband likes his with fresh tomatoes too. Buen Provecho!
