TIPS WHILE COOKING

To make corn tortilla strips, cut 2 corn tortillas into thin strips. Add approximately 1 tbsp oil in pan and heat Cook tortilla strips in medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, stirring frequently. Please note not to put too many into the pan at one time as they won’t cook properly. It should be an even layer so you can flip. It’s totally worth the 5 minutes to make your own. Do not use flour tortillas as they will burn (only corn)
To make this meal ready in under 20 minutes, I use a Rotisserie chicken from Walmart. It’s inexpensive, comes cooked, and you can easily shred the chicken off of it for the soup. Another option would be to put in a slow cooker in morning and the chicken will be done in a few hours.
Make sure you use the Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies as they have the perfect amount of spice without adding anything additional
You can customize your soup by adding cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or any other similar additives to give it the exact flavors your house loves. This is SO EASY to make and so easy to make different every time.
If you have never used an Immersion Blender, they really help in chopping up onions and other spice things!
