Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

Step 1
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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Add the cilantro and half of the reserved tortilla strips. Ladle into individual bowls and garnish each bowl with some of the remaining strips.
