1 Warm 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped yellow onion, 1 cup chopped red bell pepper, and 1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the vegetables have softened.

2 Add 1½ tablespoons minced garlic, 2½ teaspoons chili powder, 1½ teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the garlic and spices become fragrant.

3 Pour in 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, then add 2 cans undrained fire-roasted diced tomatoes, 1 can rinsed black beans, ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Stir everything together and lower the heat to medium-low.

4 Let the soup simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the flavors can blend. Add 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, then leave the soup to simmer undisturbed for 5 minutes.

5 Divide the soup evenly among 6 bowls. Top the servings with the 3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream, 6 tablespoons tricolor tortilla strips, and slices from 1 avocado, dividing each topping among the bowls before serving.
