The easiest way is to do a simple search.

1. If you want just one tag, you can use:

   C-c a M TODO="TODO"+tag1

2. To find TODO *and* (tag1 *or* tag2):

    C-c a M TODO="TODO"+ALLTAGS={tag1\|tag2}

3. If you call this often, you can automate the search with a custom
   agenda command:

   (org-add-agenda-custom-command
    '("x" "TODO + tag1|tag2" tags-todo "TODO=\"TODO\"+ALLTAGS={tag1\\|tag2}"))

   Or you could use a block agenda:

   (org-add-agenda-custom-command
    '("x" "TODO + tag1|tag2" 
      ((tags-todo "TODO=\"TODO\"+tag1")
       (tags-todo "TODO=\"TODO\"+tag2"))))
