1
In a large food processor or blender, puree the tomatoes with their liquid and Sriracha until smooth.
2
Heat the oil in a large deep pan or castiron skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the onions and saute until they start to soften and brown slightly, about 8 minutes.
4
Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, another minute or so.
5
Pour in the tomato mixture and bring to a gentle boil.
6
Lower the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes.
7
Add the tortilla chips, stirring to coat with the sauce, using caution to avoid breaking them up as much as possible.
