   Directions
   
   In a large saucepan heat 4 tablespoons of the corn oil. Add half of the tortilla strips. Cook until they have absorbed most of the oil. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes.

   Add the garlic, epazote, jalapeno chiles, chipotle chile, tomato puree, cumin, bay leaf, chicken broth, and bring to a boil.
   
   
   
   
   
   Add the chicken breasts and cook for 40 minutes over low heat.
   
   
   
   
   
   With the remaining oil fry the remaining tortilla strips and place on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
   
   
   
   
   
   Remove the cooked chicken from the soup and allow to cool then shred. Add the salt, chili powder, and cayenne pepper to taste.
   
   
   
   
   
   Ladle the soup into a blender and puree.
   
   
   
   
   
   Serve the soup in bowls and top in the following order--tortilla strips, chicken, cheese, and avocado slices. Serve with slices of lemon on the side.
