Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 small white onion diced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and diced
  • 28 oz canned diced tomatoes fire-roasted, if possible
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 6-8" corn tortilla
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 19 oz canned black beans rinsed and drained
  • juice from 1 lime
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Sauté the onion, garlic, and jalapeno in olive oil for 5 minutes, stirring until soft and fragrant.
  • Add the diced tomato, vegetable stock, tortilla, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir well and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the black beans and lime, and simmer a few more minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or by placing most of the soup in a blender, blend just enough to ensure the tortilla has been blended completely into the soup. You want to leave it a little chunky.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve topped with avocado, fresh lime, and crispy tortilla strips.
