Directions:
In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add jalapeño and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir in chicken and season with salt, pepper, chili powder, oregano, and cumin and stir to coat.
Add tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir soup to combine, add corn, lime juice, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let simmer until slightly reduced, about 15 minutes.
While soup is simmering, make crispy tortilla strips: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat a 1/8“ layer of oil. Once shimmering, add tortilla strips and cook, in batches, until golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately season with salt.
Remove bay leaf, and serve soup with crispy tortilla strips, avocado, cheddar, and cilantro.
