Ingredients:

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion-diced
4 cloves garlic-minced
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. chili powder
4 Cups Chicken Broth
1 can stewed tomatoes-Mexican recipe (blend in food processor for ONLY 1 to 2 seconds until slightly chopped)
1 bag (16 oz.) frozen corn
1 can Cuban recipe black beans (you could use regular black beans, but the Cuban recipe black beans have onions, peppers, and cumin mixed in)
2 1/2 Cups shredded chicken-seasoned (I used taco seasoning)
1 tsp. lime juice
3 flour tortillas
Toppings-green onion, cilantro, shredded cheese, avocado, etc!

Directions:

Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in cumin and chili powder and cook one more minute. Pour in Chicken broth and stewed tomatoes. Bring to a boil and reduce to medium heat to a simmer. Add in corn, black beans, shredded chicken and lime juice. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes. While soup is simmering preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut flour tortillas into strips and bake for 4 to 6 minutes or until crispy. Ladle soup into bowls and top with your favorite toppings.
