Chalokaawa- Mexican Tortilla Soup

A meal on its on, this super easy Mexican Tortilla Soup is everything you never knew you needed!
A perfect balance of flavour and texture from the hot fragrant tomato based soup, to the creamy indulgent
creme fraiche and of course the crunchy element of those baked tortillas! This to me is like drinking your chicken nachos or even better a Mexican Version of the ever popular Khowse.

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
2-3 cloves garlic chopped
1-2 jalapeños/padrón peppers
1 tsp salt

1 tin black beans
1 tin sweetcorn kernels
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp coriander powder
