Instructions

In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, oregano, chili powder, and cumin, cooking for 1 more minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
In a medium skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat, add frozen corn, cooking until lightly charred, approximately 5 minutes; remove from heat.
Once the broth is simmering, stir in the beans, shredded chicken, and charred corn.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into the chili and let simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce the heat to low, mixing in sour cream, shredded cheese, and lime juice until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm topped with queso fresco, jalapeño, fresh cilantro, and tortilla strips if desired.
