INSTRUCTIONS

Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

1. Lightly spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Add chicken to the bottom of your slow cooker followed by all of the Tortilla Soup Ingredients.
2. Cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours. When chicken is tender, shred and return to slow cooker for at least 20 minutes on low.
3. When ready to serve, taste soup and add additional salt, pepper, honey, lime, chipotle powder/hot sauce to taste. Top individual bowls with tortilla strips and any desired toppings.

Tortilla Strips

1. While the soup is cooking, make the tortilla strips. Cut tortillas into 1/2-inch strips. (I stack them all together and use my pizza cutter.)
2. Light spray a large baking sheet/jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Add tortilla strips and toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Arrange strips in a single layer and lightly season with freshly cracked salt.
3. Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-16 minutes or until light golden brown.
