Drain the chilies and coarsely chop; add about half of each kind to the blender, along with all the tomatoes. Blend until smooth. Add about 4/5 of the fried tortillas and pour in 3 cups of the broth. Blend for a minute. Season to taste. The soup should have a gentle, smoky heat. If it is too mild, blend in the remaining chilies to taste.
• Pour the soup into the saucepan and simmer, continuing to stir in broth until the soup is like a light bisque. Season to taste with salt and lime juice. Ladle it into bowls, garnishing it with avocado and tortilla strips. Serve with a wedge of lime.
