Step 1
Cut tortillas into thin strips. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then fry strips until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Step 2
Add another 1 tbsp oil to the same skillet, then sauté minced garlic and diced onion until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in canned tomatoes and minced chipotles with their sauce. Cook until tomatoes break down and darken slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then squeeze in lime juice.
Step 5
Ladle soup into bowls and top with crispy tortilla strips, crumbled queso fresco, and fresh cilantro.
