Ok, just putting the words “chicken” and “tortilla” together make me salivate. So, when I had the opportunity to create two different versions of chicken tortilla soup, it was like sensory overload, y’all!

First, I wanted to share the recipe my mom has been making for a few years. I’m not going to lie, it’s not the healthiest recipe, but OH-MY-GOODNESS! Is it ever so delicious! Talk about “comfort food” – this one is packed with “comforting” goodness in every bite!

When you’re done with this one, check out my Vitamix recipe for chicken tortilla soup, too!

Y’all, this is a stupid easy, fool-proof recipe for homemade baked tortilla strips:

Preheat oven to 350. Take 1-2 tortillas, and cut in to small strips. I make mine about 1/2 an inch wide. (And I use the world’s very best pizza cutter to make the job a breeze!) Place single layer on baking pan. Bake for 7 minutes.

**If you’re feeling super-adventurous, sprinkle a little taco seasoning on them. But trust me, they’re just fine by themselves, as well.**

Here you will find my handy-dandy glossary of frugal terms. You’ve probably heard the lingo, or seen it on many frugal/coupon blogs, but weren’t quite sure of it’s meaning. Look no further. I’ve also included some “text talk” that I’ve seen over the last few years crop up more and more in daily use. And if you don’t see a frugal term, contact me, and I’ll add it. 🙂
