Greek yogurt is a healthier alternative with more protein.

Roast tomatoes, onion, garlic, serranos, and dried chile until the skins are charred in a cast iron pan.

Remove garlic before the other ingredients as it will char quickly.

Once all ingredients are roasted, put into blender on medium until all ingredients are incorporated.

Transfer sauce back into the cast iron pan and cook down until it has the consistency of tomato paste.

Add chicken broth and cook for another 5-6 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Add kale and shredded chicken and mix to combine.

Add tortilla chips and coat completely with sauce.

Garnish with cojita cheese, crème fraîche, raw onion strips, and cilantro.

Serve immediately.
