Bake 5 to 8 minutes, tossing halfway through, until edges are lightly browned. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • 2 Meanwhile, heat oil in large saucepan on medium heat. Add onion and jalapeño. Cook until onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and Salsa; cook 1 minute. Add stock, shredded chicken, cilantro and chile pepper, stirring gently to mix. Cover.
  • 3 Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 15 minutes or until heated through. Serve hot, sprinkled with tortilla strips and desired toppings.
