Ingredients
-
1 teaspoon canola or corn oil -
1/2 small onion (thinly sliced) -
1 small garlic clove (halved) -
1 14.5-ounce can no-salt-added whole tomatoes, undrained -
1 6-inch corn tortilla, chopped -
1 tablespoon tomato paste -
1 tablespoon chopped, fresh jalapeño (seeds and ribs discarded) -
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin -
1 cup fat-free, no salt added chicken broth -
1 cup chopped cooked skinless turkey breast or chicken breast, cooked without salt -
1 ounce queso fresco, crumbled, or farmer cheese, shredded (about 1/4 cup) -
2 tablespoons chopped avocado
Directions
-
In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomatoes with liquid, tortilla, tomato paste, jalapeño, and cumin. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. -
In a blender, process the mixture until smooth. Return to the saucepan. Stir in the broth and turkey. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with the queso fresco and avocado.
Tip: Queso fresco (KAY-soh FRAY-skoh) literally translates to “fresh cheese.” It is a mild white Mexican cheese that crumbles nicely. You can use farmer cheese, another mild white cheese (similar to Monterey Jack), if queso fresco isn’t available.
