Ingredients

1 tbsp Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic minced
1 ½ tsp Chili powder
14.5 oz diced tomatoes
14.5 oz black beans rinsed and drained
14.5 oz chicken broth
1 cup Water
14.5 oz sweet corn drained
1 tbsp Lime juice
1 cup cooked shredded chicken optional
2 cups Tortilla chips slightly crushed
Additional toppings: crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese, or sour cream

Instructions

In a large sauce pan or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add in the minced garlic and chili powder, cook for about 1 minute.
Next, add in the diced tomatoes (with the juice), black beans (rinsed and drained), chicken brown, sweet corn (drained) and 1 cup of water.
If you are adding in the cooked shredded chicken, add it in now. You can either use a rotisserie chicken to make it super simple or you can make the chicken in the crockpot ahead of time.
Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 1/2-1 hour.
Then, add in the tortilla chips (slightly crushed, you want to break them in half at least). Cook for about 2 minutes until the chips have softened.
Remove from the heat completely and add in the lime juice, stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
Serve in individual bowls, add additional toppings to each bowl if desired and enjoy!
