Instructions

Tortillas

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, oil, salt, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Add the tortilla strips into the mixture and toss to coat.
  • Spread the seasoned tortilla strips out onto the lined baking sheet in an even layer.
  • Bake 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. While the strips are baking, make the soup.

Soup
