Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups sweet corn (fresh)
1 onion, diced
6 cups chicken broth
1 dried chipotle chile
2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
3 roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
2 small avocados, peeled, seeded and cubed
2 limes, juiced
salt and pepper
1/2 lb fried corn tortilla strips
1 lime, cut into 6 wedges
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped, divided

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or saucepan over medium heat. Add corn and onion; cook until lightly caramelized. Add chicken broth and chipotle chile; let simmer 20 minutes over low heat. Add the tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and discard the chipotle chile.
Place one-sixth of the tortilla strips in the center of six soup bowls; ladle soup around the crisps. Garnish with remaining cilantro and sour cream. Serve with a wedge of lime.
This is the exact recipe -- I prefer to put avacado in just before serving -- so it is not warmed.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe ingredients.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken or steak in a skillet over medium heat.
Be sure to let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
To make the salsa, simply combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
If you don't have time to make your own salsa, you can use store-bought salsa.
Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce.

Conclusion:

These Chipotle Mexican Grill recipes are a delicious and easy way to enjoy your favorite Mexican dishes at home.
