Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1/2 inch strips
3 cups chicken broth
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces
½ cup salsa
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add half of the tortilla strips, stirring often, until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil and remaining tortilla strips and set aside.
  • Add the broth, cumin, chili powder and oregano to the pot. Raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Add the beans, corn, chicken and salsa. Reduce heat to low, stir and simmer for about 2 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
  • Add the cilantro and half of the reserved tortilla strips. Ladle into individual bowls and garnish each bowl with some of the remaining strips.
