This Mexican tortilla soup is a favorite on game days… A base of diced tomatoes and chicken stock – spiced with fresh cilantro and garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and cayenne – is filled with shredded bites of chicken, black beans and crushed tortillas. It’s easy, yummy and definitely has a kick – who could ask for more?
