I second the taco soup. I call it tortilla soup and do it a little differently, as they stated. It is really simple and really quite delicious.
I make it with a whole chicken which is fairly cheap, in a slow cooker, hard to mess up. But just the other night i made it with some plain chicken breasts i picked up that day. Butterfly cut them seared them off and finished them in the soup.
Three or four cups of Chicken stock.
I omit the taco seasoning and just use healthy amount of cumin and a little chili powder. Salt (depending on salt content of chicken stock), pepper, garlic powder.
Cans of corn, black beans, garbanzo beans, roasted tomato.
I recently started sauteeing a heap of mushrooms chopped to bits and adding that too.
Finish with a squirt of lime, some cheese, and tortilla chips, or i sometimes crisp up some regular corn tortillas and cut them up in it.
Super simple, tasty. I personally can eat it throughout the week.
Sounds really good. The chips dont get really soggy? Or do you dip them separate or what?
They kind of do, but it really adds to it. Sort of like a corn dumpling almost. But it's best to just crumble them up and mix them in slowly from the top of the soup. Then only the bottom ones get soggy, and you get a little crunch left from what you pull off the top of the pile.
I personally started pressing my own tortillas recently, and they're a little thick and they turn into literally corn dumplings.
I would crush them and sprinkle them on top just prior to eating.
