Instructions:<\/h1>\n

Prepare the enchilada sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk for 1 minute to form a roux.<\/p>\n

Add chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and oregano, and whisk for another 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Add salt to taste. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Make the filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, 1 cup of cheese, diced onion, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.<\/p>\n

Assemble the enchiladas:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.<\/p>\n

Spread 1\/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.<\/p>\n

Dip each tortilla in the enchilada sauce to lightly coat it, then place about 1\/4 cup of the chicken filling in the center. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.<\/p>\n

Bake:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they\u2019re fully covered. Sprinkle the remaining 1 1\/2 cups of cheese evenly on top.<\/p>\n

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.<\/p>\n

Serve:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.<\/p>\n

Serve warm with optional sides like sour cream, guacamole, or a side salad.<\/p>\n
