Directions

HEAT the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stock pot, over medium heat.
ADD the onion and cook until softened, 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 2 minutes. Add the enchilada sauce, chicken broth, tomatoes, chili powder and cumin and season with salt and pepper.
BRING to a boil over high heat.
ADD the chicken, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and easy to shred.
REMOVE the chicken to a plate and shred with two forks, then return to the pot with the tortellini and black beans. Simmer for 7 minutes, until the tortellini is al dente.
STIR in the corn, cheese and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
SERVE with toppings, as desired.
