  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomato and cut into 1/4" dice.

    Halve lime and juice.

    Trim and slice white portions of green onions. Mince green portions. Keep white and green portions separate.

    Stem jalapeño, halve, seed, remove ribs, and mince. Wash hands and cutting board after working with jalapeño.

    Pat diced chicken dry.

  2. 2

    Start the Soup

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pot and cook undisturbed, 4 minutes.

    Stir in seasoning blend until chicken is completely coated.

    Add half the tomatoes (reserve remaining for pico de gallo) and stir occasionally until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes.

    While chicken cooks, make pico de gallo.

  3. 3

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    Combine remaining tomato, white portions of green onions, jalapeño (to taste), 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 Tbsp. lime juice (reserve remaining for crema), and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Finish the Soup

    Drain black beans.

    In another mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and 1 Tbsp. water.

    Add beans, 11/2 cups water, and demi-glace to pot. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, 4-5 minutes.

    Once simmering, add cornstarch-water mixture and 1/3 the sour cream (reserve remaining for crema) and stir occasionally until combined, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Make Crema and Finish Dish

    In another mixing bowl, combine remaining sour cream, green portions of green onions, and 1 tsp. remaining lime juice.
