Preparation
Preheat the broiler.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and chopped garlic. Sauté for 8-10 minutes or until the onions have softened. Add the drained tomatoes, chipotles in adobo sauce, and salt. Stir to combine and sauté for an additional 8-10 minutes. Transfer the tomato mixture to a food processor. Whir the tomatoes until it is a sauce consistency. You can thin out the sauce using the reserved tomato juice.
Return the tomato sauce to the pan and add the chips in batches, stirring gently to coat the chips. Pour the chips onto an oven safe platter and top with the shredded chicken and cheese. Place the platter under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with cilantro and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
