This is one of my most favorite soup recipes! my family requests it on cold rainy days or for a Mexican fiesta. It will definitely take the chill off your bones. Be sure to watch the amount of pepper, or you will get it too hot! The enchilada sauce is spicy in itself. I've added cooked Fajita chicken to this to make it even heartier.

3 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
2 (14 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1 (28 ounce) can enchilada sauce
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
3/4 teaspoon pepper
10 corn tortillas (cut into 1/2 inch strips cooked until crisp, drain on paper towels)
8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese
