Ingredients

Instructions

  • Stack corn tortillas and slice into thin matchsticks. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large soup pot over medium high heat then add about ¾ of strips to hot oil. Set remaining strips aside. Stir tortillas to cover with oil and let cook until crispy and beginning to brown 5-6 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove strips from pot and set aside on paper towel to drain.
  • Place pot back over medium high heat and add remaining 1 Tbsp oil. When hot pour in onions and cook 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, oregano, paprika, and cumin and let cook for 1 minute more stirring constantly. Add reserved tortilla strips, broth, tomatoes, chickpeas, black beans, corn, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Pour in the quinoa, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes to cook quinoa.
  • If you are making the soup ahead of time, cool soup and refrigerate until time to serve. Just bring back to a simmer and proceed with recipe.
  • Add lime juice and cilantro and serve. Top each bowl with sliced or chopped radish, avocado and the crispy tortilla strips.
