hey guys Tokyo Nick here this is going to be the opener for two series the first one is paleo potage yay the other one is paleo plots or in this case cable plus corn tortillas we're going with the chicken tortilla soup it's going to be in the zone and it's going to be delicious so stick around we'll be right back so a huge fan of the corn tortilla I found a source where it's just corn and water so you know they're non-gmo they're obviously not paleo but if I could add one thing to the Paleo diet I think this would be it we're going to start off with nine tortillas stacked up we're going to cut them into nice thin strips okay see that then I've got a sheet pan lined with foil here let's spread them out and then I'm going to drizzle those with olive oil sprinkle them with kosher salt pepper get those in the oven preheated 350 degrees all right guys next step we're going to knock out our chicken and get these huge breasts I'm just going to set it on another oil line sheet pan cut it in half just like that three four okay just open up the surface area they won't take as long to cook I'm going to hit it with salt and pepper just on the top and then it will be a race which is going to be done first the tortilla strips or the chicken there we go just like that in the oven we'll let it rip alright so here we've got one bulb of garlic peeled and smashed it's approximately ten cloves I've got an 8 quart stockpot preheating and some olive oil to that I'm going to add the garlic and some ground cumin it's always nice to toast your spices like this if we were to make the soup get the liquid rolling and then add the cumin it wouldn't give us the same flavor okay so once that's rockin I'm going to add some onion hit that with a little bit of salt and then cover it we'll let that cook for two or three minutes we'll check by hand all right now we're going to cut I'm rolling out a lime here get that going and then I'm going to cut into a couple avocados these will provide you know the healthy fat you can love the kind of sweet buttery flavor oh this stuff dreams are made of right here baby mm-hmm got check another onion over here stayin nice and toasty I'm going to add my chipotle break those guys up back in onions are you know semi-translucent at this point bottom of the pan is still clean not sticking any we're going with our tomatoes a little bit more salt to help draw out that moisture lid on we're going to go two minutes and then we'll go with our chicken stock all right here we are put tomatoes add our chicken this is just a roasted kind of a darker roasted chicken stock but I pre-made pump it out high we got to melt that down okay put a handful of cilantro at this point roughly chop it go boom boom and then lime and then potage it I started by saying paleo potage a what does that mean in the in the classical French kitchen the potage a is the soup maker so I love making soups and I don't have a lot of on the site so we're going to start incorporating some soup to get those minnesotans through there negative fifty negative thirty days all right I got my immersion blender here and you can either transfer this to your Vitamix blender or just get one of these guys and makes it a lot easier so I'll just stick this in here there we go guys everything's no chunks laughs nice and pureed whoo yeah nice and smoky from the Chipotle and look at that I got dump those juices in okay almost take the chicken over here so transfer this so what are we getting here we're getting us some of a portion of our carbs and all of our lean protein and then the avocado and a little bit of the oil that we cooked that in will provide the healthy fat and the bulk of our carb direction to come from our corn tortilla oh that's the one haha okay alright so there it is guys paleo plus corn tortillas we're looking at about 20 blocks so four maybe five four block meals I got one here for me one for Jesse cameraman thanks Jesse and yeah super simple paleo postage a penny on plus corn tortillas I'm paleo Nick thanks for watching you guys keep it paleo .
Video Description:
Corn is a grain and not a part of The Paleo Diet, this I know. However, I love the hard crunch that corn tortillas lend and they are my favorite addition to this grain-free way of eating. I search out tortillas with an ingredient list of only 2-3 items; namely, organic corn, water and lime juice.
This video shows how to make a 20 block batch (5 four-block meals) of this soup...
