Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Place all soup ingredients in the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Quick release steam.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add tortilla strips and fry in the hot oil for a few minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with tongs, drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt.
  • Stir about half of your tortilla strips into the soup and reserve the remaining half for topping. Top individual bowls with toppings. Highly recommend avocado and lime.

Notes

Frying the tortillas is completely worth it for the best flavor and texture.
