Directions:
Mix together cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and salt. Drizzle some olive oil over chicken breasts and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture, setting rest of spice mixture aside.
Bake chicken in 375 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through, OR cook chicken in preheated skillet on stovetop over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes. Cut chicken into cubes and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in onions, bell peppers and garlic, along with remaining spice mixture. If desired, add a little extra chili powder for more heat.
Stir and cook vegetables until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add cubed chicken, diced tomatoes and green chilies (with juice), chicken broth, hot water and tomato paste. Stir until combined and bring mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low. Add drained black beans. Then mix together cornmeal with 1/2 cup of water and add mixture to soup; simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Taste it and add salt or seasonings as needed. Stir tortilla strips into soup just before serving.
Ladle soup into each bowl, then top with desired garnishes.
