I decided to make Tortilla soup yesterday. Tasty, warm, filling--a great Sunday meal. As I was making it, it kind of morphed into Mexican Chicken Jambalaya Burritos. Hope you give it a try and enjoy it as much as we did.
Here is what I did:
Tortilla soup (my normal recipe)
Saute together in a large stock pot:
- some chicken (I cut up about 3 Chicken breasts in to bite size chunks before sauteing)
- cloves of garlic
- 1 large onion
- chicken broth (32 onces)
- Mexican stewed tomatoes (I put it in the Vita-Mix to de-chunk)
- Chopped Carrots (I do about a handful of baby carrots)
- 2 Ribs Chopped Celery
- 1 Can kidney beans (drained & Rinsed)
- 3 or 4 shakes Oregano
- 3 or 4 shakes Adobo
- salt & pepper to taste
This is where it morphed:
I added in about 3/4 cup of rice. I let is simmer until the rice was soft. It so happened that all of the broth was absorbed-- so then I made some homemade corn tortillas and we ate it like burritos. We added Sour Cream and Cheese. My girl's ate it with corn chips.
This was the best tortilla soup I have had-- my morph turned in to a success. I hope you enjoy it.
