Heat the vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes or until they turn slightly transparent. Incorporate the tomato and cook for 5 more minutes. When the tomato is a bit soft, add the guajillo chili and the árbol chili. Cook for 2 more minutes or until they soften slightly. Pour the chicken broth, cook for 10 minutes or until the chiles are soft. Remove from heat and let cool before blending. Blend with the broth in which the previous ingredients were cooked. Season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Pour the vegetable oil into a pot, heat over medium heat, and add the blended and strained sauce. Cook for 10 minutes and adjust the seasoning. Serve the red sauce over tortilla chips and add cooked chicken, cream, and cheese. Enjoy!
