Chicken Tortilla

Hi, Brother Bryce sent this to me. I will note that B. does like things spicy. I've had good luck with recipies he has sent me, so I thought I would share.

The alterations I made, and it worked beautifully, were that I bought a roasted chicken, skinned it and shredded everything (dark meat too) instead of the chicken breasts called for.
I didn’t have any apple juice to substitute for the white wine, and I didn’t add water. It was just a tad stewy, so I’d recommend ½ - 1 cup of apple juice.
I did a very generous tsp of chili powder, but I like things spicy.
I did the whole green pepper, and I also left the seeds of the jalapeno in. I think next time I’m going to add some smoked chipotle peppers – but those add kick very quickly, so be careful w/ your kids.

I thought this soup was bomb. I just had it with cheese and tortilla chips. It’d be great w/ sour cream, avocado, and just about anything. Hope you like it.
