1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
3 jalapenos, stemmed and chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon lard or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chicken broth
7 ounces corn tortilla chips
1/2 cup leftover chicken
2 tablespoons Mexican queso fresco, crumbled
1/2 onion thinly sliced
1/4 cup sour cream
Handful of cilantro

1
Start with making the sauce. Add the tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, and garlic to a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.
2
Heat the lard in a skillet set over medium-high. When it's hot dump in tomato chile sauce. It will splatter a little bit, but that's okay. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn the heat to low and season with salt.
3
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, and stir until combined. Then add the tortilla chips. Stir until covered with the sauce, then cover and let cook for about 5 minutes. They should be soft but not mushy.
4
Warm leftover chicken up in a pot or in the microwave.
5
Assemble the plate. Spoon some of the tortilla mixture onto a plate. Top with the thinly sliced onions, queso fresco, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve.
