Chef's Notes
Do not skip the step of drying out fresh tortillas! If they contain too much moisture, they will turn into soggy mush rather than frying into glorious, shatteringly crisp shards.
Pro Tip
If you can find fire-roasted canned tomatoes, use them! They impart a smoky, charred depth that elevates this humble soup into a majestic culinary event.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping soaking-wet, fresh-from-the-bag tortillas straight into boiling hot oil without drying them first, resulting in a violent oil volcano that decorates your kitchen ceiling.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
The King asked for a soup that tastes like a taco, so I simply boiled a taco. He was less than amused.
The Culinary Science
Frying corn tortillas triggers the Maillard reaction and rapidly evaporates surface water, creating a porous, crispy structure that can withstand hot broth without instantly dissolving.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
