📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and translucent.

3. Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

4. Add the black beans, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, frozen corn, and vegetable broth. Stir well.

5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes to blend the flavors.

6. While the soup simmers, heat the neutral oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortilla strips in batches until crispy and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.

7. Once the soup has simmered, add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and adjust seasoning as needed.

8. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup slightly to thicken, leaving some chunks for texture. Alternatively, transfer a portion of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

9. Serve the soup in bowls, garnished with crispy tortilla strips, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices if desired.
