Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the chicken breasts on a parchment lined baking sheet. Rub them with 1 Tbsp olive oil and season with salt. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Allow to cool, then shred and set aside.
Step 2
While the chicken is baking, heat the olive oil in a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the garlic and sauté another 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the adobo seasoning, cumin, and chili powder and stir to coat the spices on the veggies, about 2 minutes. Then add the tomatoes and cilantro stems. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the cilantro stems. Using an immersion blender or blender/food processor, blend until completely smooth.
Step 7
Pour the mixture back into the pot and turn it to medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, broth, salt, and tortilla chips.
Step 8
Simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice.
Step 10
Serve topped with crushed tortilla chips, cilantro, fresh avocado, and cheese.
