Homemade Tortilla Strips:

- Ladle into bowls and top with crispy tortilla strips and avocado slices.
Notes
Take It Up a Notch:
- Add a dollop of sour cream or sprinkle of shredded cheese for a creamy finish.
- Want more heat? Add extra jalapeño or a dash of Spicy Pepper Blend or cayenne.
- Pair it with cornbread or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
- Don’t skip the lime—it brings everything to life.
