Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Thinly slice the brown onion. Cut the carrot (unpeeled) into 1cm pieces. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain and rinse the red kidney beans.
SPICY! Add 1/2 the spice blend if you are sensitive to heat! In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and Mexican Fiesta spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes and water to the pan and crumble in the vegetable stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people). Add the red kidney beans and simmer, uncovered, until reduced and thickened, 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish, so taste, season with salt and pepper and taste again.
While the soup is simmering, slice the mini flour tortillas into 1cm-wide strips and arrange over an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.Bake until golden and crisp, 6-8 minutes.
TIP: Keep an eye on them. You want them crisp, but not burnt!
Dice the avocado into 2cm chunks. Roughly chop the coriander. Slice the lime into wedges.
TIP: Slice the avocado into cubes while the flesh is still in the skin, then scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
Divide the Mexican tomato soup between bowls. Top with Greek yoghurt, avocado and a good squeeze of lime. Sprinkle with the coriander and serve with a large handful of crispy tortilla strips.
