  • 1 Tbs olive oil

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • ¾ tsp ground cumin

  • ½ tsp chili powder

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 4 stalks celery, chopped

  • 4-6 tomatillos, roasted and chopped

  • 4 c homemade or low sodium chicken broth

  • 1 (15 oz) can white hominy, rinsed and drained

  • 1 (15 oz) can no salt added black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 2 c chopped or shredded rotisserie chicken

  • 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

  2. Heat olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add oregano, cumin, chili powder, garlic, onion and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add roasted tomatillos, broth, hominy and black beans. Bring to low boil and cook for 8 minutes.

  4. Stir in chicken and let cook for another 2 minutes, or until chicken is heated through.

  5. Remove pot from heat. Add in lime juice, salt and pepper.

  6. Serve into bowls, top with fresh avocado, radish and cilantro.

Notes

  • Make this meal even faster by using canned tomatillos and/or pre-chopped onion and celery mix.

  • Use any leftover chicken or shredded pork loin in the place of the rotisserie chicken.

  • Use salt-free homemade chicken stock to reduce the sodium content by another 300 mg per serving.

  • Serve with a side of warm tortillas or tortilla chips.

  • Additional toppings could include shredded cabbage, sour cream or plain yogurt.
