What type of beans should go into tortilla soup?
I used garbanzo beans and pinto beans, but you could use black beans, kidney beans, white beans, or even some lentils. Use what you have on hand!

This recipe is easily adaptable as well. If you want to add chicken, go ahead. If you want more beans, add those, too. You can customize this tortilla soup to fit your needs. I love that it’s so quick to throw together, but it’s still a healthy and filling dinner.
