This is so easy and very yummy!

1/2 tsp salt
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I used 2 breasts)

1/2 ripe avocado
1/2 cup shredded monterey jack or pepper jack cheese
tortilla chips-all we had was the bottom of the bags, tidbits

1. In medium saucepan heat oil over medium heat, add onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano and chili powder. Cook stirring for 5 minutes until onions are softened. Add 3 cups of water, lime juice and salt. Bring to simmer over med-high heat- add chicken and cook 12 mins. Remove chicken to cutting board and let cool. Add tomato sauce, cook 5 mins.

2. Shred chicken into bite sized pieces. Add chicken to soup, heat through. Ladle soup into bowl- top with shredded cheese, avocado slices, and chip crumbs.

We omitted the cheese and used a little sour cream. Mine was a bit spicy but so yummy!!!
