In a large pot, heat a non-stick spray or a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add chicken breasts to the pot and season with cumin, chili powder, and black pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
Remove chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the pot and add black beans and corn. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Stir in fresh lime juice just before serving. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with tortilla strips and chopped cilantro.
