- Mexican limes, or possibly Key limes, differ from the Persian limes which are common in the United States in which they are smaller, a darker green, and are more tart than sweet. Although they are preferred, any lime can be substituted.
- Fry the tortilla strips in 360-degree oil till crisp. Remove, drain, and keep hot.
- Place the chicken, onion, garlic, peppercorns, cinnamon, allspice, oregano, and broth in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 min. Allow the chicken to cold in the stock. Remove the chicken, and using two forks, shred the meat. Strain the broth and add in sufficient water to make 1 qt of liquid.
- Reheat the chicken broth with the tomato, lime juice and chile. Add in the chicken and simmer till the chicken is warm.
- To serve: Place some of the tortilla strips in the bottom of a soup bowl, add in the soup, garnish with a lime slice and serve.
