1 cup prepared chipotle salsa
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. olive oil, divided
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
2 cups arugula
3 Roma tomatoes, diced (1 cup)

2 green onions, sliced (about 1/4 cup)
1 Tbs. fresh lime juice
1 9-oz. bag tortilla chips

1. Blend beans in food processor 1 minute, until mostly smooth. Add salsa, garlic and oregano, and blend 1 minute.
