Make

  1. Heat oven to 400F (204C) degrees.
  2. Brush a sheet pan with some cooking oil. Scatter tortilla strips over the top and bake, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. (Watch closely at the end to be sure they don’t burn.)
  3. Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add cooking oil and corn and saute until corn is heated through. Add leftover beans, tomato juice and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until all ingredients are hot, 6 to 8 minutes. (Optional: to get a more smooth soup, puree with an immersion blender.)
  4. Serve soup topped with avocado, cilantro leaves, sour cream and crisp tortilla strips. Enjoy!
