Steps to make Chilaquiles:
- Add can of salsa and two chipotle peppers to a blender. Blend until mixed and just a bit chunky.
- Thinly slice the green pepper and half the onion. In a deep skillet, use medium/high heat to sauté the peppers and onions (reserving a small amount for topping) in oil until slightly browned. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

- Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (this is about 3/4 of the can). Simmer until it thickens and reaches the consistency of the original blended tomato mixture.
- Add the chips to skillet and fold them in gently. Mix them in the sauce until all the chips are evenly coated and soft.
