03 Method

Step 1

In a medium stockpot, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion, sweet bell peppers, and garlic in oil until soft. Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, chipotle powder, salt, pepper, tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat a bit and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in corn, black beans, chicken, and lime juice. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until heated throughout.
Step 2

Place avocado and mozzarella in the bottom of individual serving bowls. Ladle the soup over the top. The cheese will stay in its form but become melted and ooey-gooey…yummy! Top with cilantro, green onions, and tortilla crisps (or Tostitos ‘hint of lime’ tortilla chips instead of the tortilla crisps), with slices of fresh lime on the side.
