Notes

When possible, choose organic ingredients, especially chicken and corn. Always check chicken broth, salsa, and tortilla chip labels carefully for mammalian-derived ingredients. Break chips into individual bowls right before serving to keep them crispy. If histamine is a concern, substitute salsa with fresh chopped tomatoes and a small amount of tomato paste. Individual alpha-gal reactions vary — always read labels carefully.
