Roughly slice the tortillas, then add them to a blender with 1 cup of water. Blend it until it forms a paste, then set it aside.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and saute them for about 2 minutes, until translucent.
Add the bell pepper and seasonings and saute for about 3 minutes, until the bell pepper softens and the spices become aromatic.
Add the tomato sauce, bouillon, 5 cups of water, and blended tortilla mixture to the pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the corn, sugar and lime juice, then simmer for another 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat, then stir in the cilantro.
Top with crispy tortilla strips and other toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
