It’s slow cooker season! I cleaned out the freezer and pantry and put together this amazingly good soup! Just dump in the ingredients and go. Some light prep when you get home and it’s dinner!
Here’s How to Do it:
Note: I like to use the small tortillas – 
First, cut the beef into 1 to 2 inch chunks. Toss with a bit of the seasoning and put it in the crock pot.
Top that off with 3 tortillas cut into chunks,
the spices, garlic, onion, broth, beans, tomatoes and corn and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours – or even 12 hours!
Prep the toppings –
Just before serving, heat some oil in a small deep fryer or a deep sauce pan. I like to use peanut oil. It has a pretty high smoke point and a great flavor.
Cut the jalapeño into slices and deep fry them until they start to brown. Remove from the oil and drain.
Next, cut the remaining tortillas into strips and fry them until they are golden. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve the soup topped with add some sour cream, Avocado and chopped cilantro. Then some fried tortillas and jalapeño. You’ll go back for seconds, guaranteed!
