Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss the tortilla strips with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Bake for 10–14 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
2
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
