Step 1

Simmer garlic & onion in oil. Add the remaining soup ingredients, except the tortillas. Bring to boil, then lower heat and simmer for 45 minutes.

Step 2

While the soup is simmering, heat vegetable oil in a medium pan. Cut 4 tortillas in half and then crosswise into thin strips. Once the oil is hot fry strips until crispy. Line a plate with paper towels to drain fried tortillas. Salt liberally!

Step 3

Add 8 corn tortillas, cut into strips. Stir well and cook just a few more minutes until tortillas are done. Won't take long.

Step 4

Serve in soup bowls and garnish with dollops of sour cream, shredded Colby/jack cheeses, avocado, and fried tortilla strips.
