Directions
Make the sauce: Heat oil to medium-high in a heavy skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onions just begin to soften and turn fragrant. Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and let cool for a few minutes before continuing. Once the garlic and onions are cooled add to a blender or food processor along with tomatoes, chipotles with adobo and chicken stock. Blend until almost smooth. Pour sauce back into skillet and heat on medium-low for 10 minutes.
Turn up heat to medium-high. Add tortilla chips a handful at a time and fold gently to coat with the sauce. Once chips are added and coated with sauce, season with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving dish. Top with queso fresco, avocado, onion and cilantro. Serve immediately.
