Are there any benefits to using a slow cooker to make chicken tortilla soup?
There are many benefits to using a slow cooker to make chicken tortilla soup. One of the main benefits is that it is a very hands-off process.

Is there any substitute for corn tortillas?
Tortillas are a staple in many Mexican dishes, and they are also a popular breakfast item. When it comes to corn tortillas, there is no substitute. Corn tortillas are often made with masa harina, which is a type of dough that is made from corn flour. This type of dough does not contain any wheat flour or any other starches besides corn flour so it does not have the same texture as wheat tortillas.
How should I store leftover chicken tortilla soup?
Leftover chicken tortilla soup should be stored in a container with a lid. It is best to keep it in the fridge, but if you want to put it in the freezer, make sure you leave some room for it to expand.
To avoid food poisoning, make sure that you cook the soup again before eating it.
