Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup of chopped red onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 7 oz package of Fideo
- 1 1/2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth (for vegetarian)
- 1 10 oz can of diced tomatoes, or fresh
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Optional: 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese to garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, start by adding the olive oil on medium heat and wait for it to shimmer. Add the onion for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Toss in the garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in the Fideo. Stir often to avoid burning the noodles for about 2-3 minutes, until toasted. Add the can of diced tomatoes, stir for 1 minute.

- Garnish with sliced avocado, cilantro, and cotija cheese.
Notes
- If you don’t have chicken broth, mix 1 tablespoons of Knorr Chicken Bouillon with 1 ½ cups of hot water.
