...or as Tim called it - CHILI! Whatever, it is not chili! I got a new food processor today and was so excited to try it! This is a recipe I just made up - so I will do my best to put it into measurable amounts! I will definitely make this again when I am not in the mood for chili!
Ingredients:
1 - 2 cups of cooked chicken (I had cooked some in the crockpot - so it ended up being shredded - but diced grilled chicken would be good too)
1 box chicken broth
1 can of petite diced tomatoes with chiles
1 can of stewed tomatoes
2 can of black beans (divided)
1 cup of frozen corn
4 chipotle peppers in adobe sauce (optional - do not use these if you do not like spicy soup, Tim could barely hang)
1 Tbsp of cumin
1 Tbsp of chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
Garnishments - all optional, but highly recommended:
6 small CORN tortillas
oil for frying
salt to taste
sour cream
cheese
cilantro
lime
Add both cans of tomatoes an, one can of black beans and the chipotle peppers (if using) to the food processor. Blend until smooth! Transfer mixture to a large pot. Slowly add in chicken broth until mixed throughout. Add in chicken, the other can of black beans (drained and rinsed), the frozen corn, cumin and chili powder . Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 45 min to 1 hour.
To prepare the garnishment, which in my opinion, may have been the best part - slice the corn tortillas in long thin strips longways and then cut in half, so you end up with about 2 inch pieces. Place the oil in a pan and heat until bubbly. Fry the tortillas until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to drain. Make sure to salt them while they are still hot! So yummy!
