Steps

1Combine chicken broth, diced tomatoes with juice, shredded rotisserie chicken, diced onion, minced garlic, minced jalapeño, cumin, and chili powder in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for 10 minutes.

2While the soup simmers, cut tortillas into strips. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry tortilla strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

3Season the soup with salt and pepper. Squeeze in lime juice and taste for seasoning.

4Ladle soup into bowls and top each serving with tortilla strips, avocado slices, cilantro, and queso fresco.
