Ingredients

4 cups chicken broth
15 oz. whole kernel canned corn drained
30 oz. canned black beans drained
19 oz. red enchilada sauce
10.5 oz Rotel (Mexican style)
1 red bell pepper diced
1 green bell pepper diced
1 tsp. sea salt
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. lime juice
5 lb. rotisserie chicken cooked

Instructions

Add all ingredients (except chicken) to pot and give a good mix. I also like to include the juice in the bottom of the rotisserie chicken tray. Lock lid and cook for 4 minutes at high pressure.
Meanwhile – remove all chicken meat from bones. Reserve the carcass (bones and skin) to make broth later. Shred the chicken into bite-size pieces.
Once cook time is complete, quick-release pressure. Then remove lid, add the shredded chicken to the pot, and mix well. Allow the chicken to sit in the soup for a few minutes (the longer the better) to absorb the flavor.
Serve topped with any combination of tortilla chips, avocado, cheese, and cilantro.

Notes

The sodium appears to be really high in this recipe. However, most of that is due to the highly seasoned skin and fat of a store-bought rotisserie chicken, which you do not add to the soup. So the actual sodium and fat content is much lower than listed. Recipe cards cannot be modified and are merely approximations anyways.
