Mexican Tortilla Soup with Smokin' Salsa, Fresh Lime and Coriander
Mexican Tortilla Soup with Smokin' Salsa Fresh Lime and Coriander
This month we took a trip to Amamoor about 45mins North of Belmondos to visit John Tidy's Certified Organic Avocado farm. John has a wealth of knowledge about organic and biodynamic farming and soil health and is passionate about growing delicious and nutritious food and the importance of a healthy environment to grow it. In an effort to close the gap between the farmer and the consumer.
This recipe originally came to us from Jules at House of Salsa and we just had to try it with John's Avocados. Warm and smokey absolutely epic for this time of year! It knocked John's socks off and we think you'll love it too.
Ingredients:
- 125g (1/2 a tub) House of Salsa SMOKIN Salsa
- 400mL Vegetable or Chicken Broth 200g
- Tinned Jackfruit (you can sub fresh jackfruit if it’s precooked OR shredded chicken breast)
- 2x Corn tortillas (fresh, not cooked)
- 1/4c Rice Bran oil
- ½ Avocado
- 2tbsp Red Onion, chopped
- 2tbsp Coriander leaves
- Wedge of Lime/Lemon
Method:
Cut corn tortillas into 1cm (or smaller) strips whilst waiting for the rice bran oil to heat up in a small/shallow frypan. Fry strips until golden and crispy to your liking. Remove from pan and set aside on a paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
Heat the broth in a saucepan to a simmer.
Add ½ tub (125g) of SMOKIN salsa (or the whole tub if you like) and stir through.
Slowly add the jackfruit or chicken and heat to a simmer then turn off the heat. Let this sit whilst you chop the onion, prep the coriander leaves, and cut the avocado into cubes.
Build the Soup:
Place the stack of tortilla strips piled in the middle of a large but shallow soup bowl with the avocado cubes all around the perimeter and then spoon the pieces of jackfruit or chicken from the soup mixture and place around the bowl. Slowly pour the soup mixture into one side of the bowl so that it disperses around the tortilla crisps.
Garnish with the coriander, red onion and squeeze the wedge of lemon or lime all around.
