1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Heat oil in a large pot on the stove one medium-high (the same pot will be used to make the soup later).
Add tortilla strips and stir constantly until they brown slightly and start to crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
To a large stock pot, add chicken stock, lime juice, tomatoes & juice, beans, onion, salt & pepper and heat to medium-high.
Sink chicken breasts into broth, cover, turn heat down to med-low an walk away (that's the best part)!
Leave soup to simmer for 30 minutes. Remove chicken breasts to a cutting board. Pull chicken apart with 2 forks into bite sized pieces. Return to soup.
Serve topped with tortilla strips and a dollop of sour cream!
