Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush tortillas on both sides with 1 tablespoon oil, then slice into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crisp, flipping halfway through, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Add chicken, partially cover and continue to simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, until its internal temperature reaches 165°F, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board. Add corn to the pot and cook until warmed through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Shred the chicken and stir it into the soup, along with lime juice. Top each serving with the tortilla strips and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and garnish with radishes and pepper, if desired.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
