For the sauce: Pour the vegetable oil into a saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until they have a shiny color, stirring constantly to ensure even cooking. Increase the heat, add the tomato, and cook for 5 minutes; you will notice how the tomato loses some juice. It will be time to add the chicken broth, then season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until you achieve a mashed or blended sauce consistency. Finally, add the chiles and remove from heat to cool.
