Ingredients

3 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup diced tomatoes with liquid (from a 15-ounce can)
4 teaspoons chili powder
Chicken Soup Base (10 cups broth and 4 cups shredded chicken)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 corn tortillas, cut into thin strips
1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
2 ounces cotija cheese, crumbled (1/3 cup)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 scallion, thinly sliced
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large pot, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add tomato paste, diced tomatoes and liquid, and chili powder and cook until most of liquid is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil; season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss tortilla strips with 2 teaspoons oil. Bake until crisp and golden, 8 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Divide chicken, avocado, cheese, cilantro, and scallion among six bowls; top with broth and tortilla strips. Serve with lime wedges.
