INSTRUCTIONS

• Using a high-powered blender, place all ingredients except chicken, olives, corn (core plan only), and tortillas (core plan only) and blend on high until everything is liquified.

• Turn off blender and add chicken, jalapenos, olives, corn, and tortilla (torn into pieces).

• Put your blender on low speed and blend for 10-20 seconds. You will want the last batch of ingredients to remain in small chunks.

• Transfer to a saucepan and heat.
