Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice tortillas into thin strips. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high and fry strips until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Dice onion. In a large pot, bring broth to a boil over high heat. Add chicken breast and onion, reduce to medium-low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Remove chicken, shred with two forks, then return to pot. Season with salt to taste.

  4. Step 4

    Ladle soup into bowls. Top with tortilla strips and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.
