tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Set aside. Add salt and pepper to

4 soup bowls. Put some tortilla strips in each bowl. Bring them to the table along with the cheese, pork rinds and avocado. Each person adds the rest to his/her soup to their taste. You can add some tabasco sauce to the soup to make it hot or use any cheese that will melt when added to the soup.

NOTES:

A soup with crispy tortillas -- This is my recipe for a soup that

is very popular in Mexico. If you have ever wondered what to do with

some leftover tortillas that are in your refrigerator, then read this recipe. If you haven't wondered, then do it with fresh tortillas.

Pork rinds are a typical Mexican snack that is sold in many

supermarkets in bulk or in the snack area.
