In a large soup pan on medium high heat add about 2Tbsp Olive oil, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the pan is hot add your chicken, bell pepper, onion, cumin, coriander, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Let cook on medium high for 8 minutes or until chicken has browned and the vegetables have a nice color to them. You want it on a high heat so you get that fajita kinda flavor!

Once that has browned add in your beans, corn, fire roasted tomatoes, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for about fifteen minutes.

In the bottom of the bowls you are serving the soup in crush up a few white corn tortilla chips, a small pinch of shredded cheese, and ladle the soup over the top. Top with chopped cilantro and green onions, a lime wedge and a few squares of Avocado! This is super yummy!
