Preparation

Step 1

* Note: See the "Bayou Blast - { Creole Seasoning}" recipe which is included in this collection.

Season the chicken with the cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt and set aside.

In a large pot, heat 1/2 cup of the oil over high heat. Fry the tortilla strips in batches until golden brown on both sides, adding more oil as needed. Drain on paper towels.

Remove all but 2 tablespoons of oil from the pan. Add the onion, Essence and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken, garlic, tomatoes and chiles and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the stock and lime juice and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Place 1 lime slice in each soup bowl and ladle the soup on top. Top each serving with diced avocado and serve the fried tortilla strips on the side.
