A vibrant and flavorful soup combining zesty lime with tender chicken and crispy tortilla strips.
Cut the tortillas into thin strips.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts for even frying.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and fry the tortilla strips until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
In a saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the onion and green chili until softened.
Cook over medium heat to prevent burning.
Add the chicken broth and cooked chicken to the saucepan. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Use a low simmer to keep the chicken tender.
Stir in the tomatoes and lime juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust the lime juice to your preference.
Serve the soup in bowls, topping with crispy tortilla strips and a wedge of lime.
Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
