Add your spices: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp oregano, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp brown sugar and 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add 1 can fire roasted tomatoes and squish them down a bit, add corn and cook for 2 minutes.
Add beans and green chilies, chicken, broth and bring to a simmer.
Finish your skillet. Preheat oven to low broil. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar, taste and adjust with more salt or vinegar. Add tortilla strips to the pan and mix in so they are all covered in liquid. Top with cheese and broil until cheese is melted.
Remove from heat and top with cilantro, avocado, and sour cream or plain greek yogurt.
