Method

1

Cut tortillas into thin strips (about 1/4 inch wide). Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry tortilla strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels and set aside.

2

In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

3

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4

Add tomato paste and cumin, stirring to coat the aromatics, about 1 minute.

5

Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add your chosen vegetables and protein (if using). Simmer for 12–15 minutes until vegetables are tender.

6

Stir in lime juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

7

Ladle soup into bowls and top with crispy tortilla strips, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, queso fresco, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
