1 lb. 
boneless skinless chicken breasts
15-oz. can black beans, rinsed
1 c. 
frozen corn
bell peppers, chopped
white onion, chopped
15-oz. can fire-roasted tomatoes
1/4 c. 
freshly chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. 
cumin
1 tbsp.

1 tsp.

low-sodium chicken broth
1 c. 
shredded Monterey jack
1 tbsp. 
extra-virgin olive oil
small corn tortillas, cut into strips

  1. In a large slow cooker, combine chicken, black beans, corn, peppers, onion, fire-roasted tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and chicken broth.
  2. Cover and cook on low until chicken is cooked and falling apart, 5 to 6 hours.
  3. Shred chicken with a fork, then top soup with Monterey Jack and cover to let melt, 5 minutes more.
  4. Meanwhile, make tortilla crisps: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add tortilla strips and cook until crispy and golden, 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
  5. Serve soup topped with tortilla crisps, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and lime.
