Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the tomatoes, cook for a couple of minutes, and add the guajillo and pasilla chiles. Cook for 3 minutes, and once the tomato has released its juices and the chiles are soft, remove them from the skillet. Transfer the sautéed ingredients to a blender, add chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper. Blend for 5 minutes and set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a pot over high heat, add the onion and chorizo, and sauté for 5 minutes. Then, pour in the blended ingredients through a strainer, add a little more chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Cook the tortilla soup for 10 minutes or until the flavors are concentrated. While hot, serve the tortilla soup with chorizo in a deep plate and add a bit of dried hoja santa, avocado, and fried tortilla. Accompany the tortilla soup with chorizo with cream and cheese.
