- Preheat your broiler. Tear one tortilla into chunks and blend with crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, cilantro, chipotle chile and sauce, and cumin until smooth.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the sauce, simmer 6-8 minutes until thickened, then season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
