Step by Step guide

Step 1

To prepare the broth: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and sauté for another minute. Add vegetable broth, lime zest, and 3 cups of water; cover and reduce heat. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the broth. Discard large pieces. Pour the liquid into a pot.

Step 2

To prepare the soup: Add rice to the broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is cooked. Add tomatoes and corn, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Drizzle the tortilla with oil, and cut into thin strips. Spread the strips on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes (the strips should become crispy).
