Add a final squeeze of lime juice to each bowl, and dig in.

Top generously with corn, tortilla strips, cilantro, tomatoes, avocado, and crumbled queso fresco. (Alternatively, cook kernels in a large skillet over high heat until charred in spots.) Cook corn over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning occasionally, until charred in spots.Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Working in batches, fry tortilla strips, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, 2–3 minutes per batch. Heat over medium heat until thermometer registers 350°–360°. Attach deep-fry thermometer to the side of a large cast-iron skillet or other heavy skillet.Chill until cold, then cover and keep chilled.

#MAS FOR FAVOR SKIN#
Shred chicken meat discard skin and bones.Return chiles to broth, if a spicier broth is desired discard remaining solids.


(Check the temperature after 30 minutes.) Reduce heat to medium and simmer, skimming the surface frequently, until chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes.

I’ve never gotten there in time to get a bowl, so when I found the recipe in “Bon Appetit,” I wooo’d like one of those chicks who wear pink cowboy hats to bars.Īnyway, this isn’t some thick, wintry tortilla soup. Mas Tacos is a funky little Mexican joint in East Nashville that’s known for its unique tacos (especially the fried avocado and sweet potato-quinoa), Mexican grilled corn and this soup, which STAYS sold out. We’ve been doing Taco Tuesday all summer, because it’s a fun way to use up leftovers, and who doesn’t like tacos? They’re delicious.īut even good things need to be switched up once in a while, which is why I made a big batch of Mas Tacos Por Favor’s Tortilla Soup last Tuesday.
