Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Cut the corn tortillas into triangles and spread them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the chicken broth, ¾ of the salsa verde, and water. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in half of the shredded Mexican cheese until melted.
