  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 can (15.5 oz) Great Northern beans
  • 1 can (7 oz) fire roasted diced green chilis
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or thinly sliced
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • Olive oil, to spray
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • Fresh cilantro, to taste.
  • Pepper jack, for servings

Method

  • Step 1

    Set the oven to 425 degrees.

  • Step 2

    In a dutch oven or large pot add the olive oil, garlic, and onion. Saute over medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until soft & translucent.

  • Step 3

    Season generously with salt, and pepper. Add in the oregano, chili powder, and cumin. Saute for another minute.

  • Step 4

    Add the beans, green chilis, chicken, chicken broth, and frozen corn. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat. Add the lime juice and let simmer uncovered for 30-45 minutes depending on desired thickness.

  • Step 5

    While the chili is cooking, prepare your homemade tortilla strips. Cut the tortillas into strips and spread on a baking tray. Spray with olive oil, add salt, and toss. Bake for 5 minutes, toss, and bake for another 5 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Turn the heat off once the chili is at your desired thickness. Add the cream cheese and stir until it is completely melted and combined. Season with salt & pepper to taste.

  • Step 7

    Serve with the tortilla strips, pepper jack or cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro.
