Steps

1

Blend the tomatoes with the epazote, garlic, and onion. Pour the mixture into a pot and cook to let the flavors develop.
2

Once seasoned, add chicken broth or water with chicken bouillon to reach your desired soup consistency. Bring to a boil.
3

Place a handful of fried tortilla strips in a deep bowl. Pour the hot soup over the tortillas, just enough to partially cover them. Garnish with crema, cheese, and avocado. For extra flavor and presentation, you can add a dried chile de árbol if desired.
