Ingredients

  • 10 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1/2-inch strips

  • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil for frying

  • salt to taste

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves

  • 2 large tomatoes

  • 1 large onion

  • 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 2 avocados — peeled, pitted, and diced

Directions

  1. Heat oil in large skillet and carefully drop in half the tortilla strips. Fry in batches until golden brown and crunchy. Place fried tortilla strips on a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry. Sprinkle salt on tortillas, tossing to coat both sides.

  2. Using a blender or food processor, blend tomatoes, onion, and cilantro until completely puréed.

  3. In a saucepan, heat chicken broth, chipotle chili, and puréed vegetables. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Ladle soup into serving bowls. Prior to serving, add tortilla strips and avocado.

Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

Tips

Just before serving, add tortilla strips and avocado cubes, so the tortillas stay crunchy.
