Step by Step guide
Step 1
Cut the tortillas into strips about 7 mm wide. Then, bake them in an oven preheated to 356°F for 10-12 minutes.
Step 2
In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat, making sure it doesn't smoke, as this indicates that the oil is overheated.
Step 3
Fry the tortilla strips in it until golden brown. It's best to fry them in batches, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Transfer the cooked noodles to paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 5
In a heavy-bottomed pot, pour in a little oil from frying the noodles and sauté the onion, diced into small cubes, until it's translucent.
Step 6
Then add the chopped chili and garlic, along with the cinnamon and cloves. Cook for a couple more minutes.
Step 7
Add the chopped tomatoes, broth, chicken, oregano, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and shred it into strands using two forks. Return the chicken to the pot and add lime juice.
Step 9
Ladle the soup into bowls, add the sautéed noodles, and top with randomly diced avocado.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve.
