Dad pro tip

This is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it recipe. Ten minutes of work in the morning and you walk in the door to a house that smells incredible and dinner that is completely done. It does not get better than that.

Kid adjustment

Use mild chili powder and let kids skip the avocado and cilantro if they prefer. Extra tortilla strips and cheese on top make it kid-friendly.

Reheat

Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave. Add a splash of chicken broth if the soup has thickened overnight.
