Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes
3/4 pound shredded rotisserie chicken
SAUCE:
Boiling water
2 dried guajillo chiles
1/3 cup butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, divided
Optional toppings: Halved grape tomatoes, minced fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeno peppers, chopped red onion and cubed avocado

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook onion in oil over medium heat until tender, 4-5 minutes. Stir in flour and seasonings. Add tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Stir in chicken until coated.
For the sauce, pour boiling water over dried chiles to cover; let stand 15 minutes. Drain; lightly chop.
In a saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and jalapeno; cook and stir 1 minute or until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually whisk in broth. Add rehydrated chiles. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and seasonings. Puree sauce using an immersion blender.
Pour 1-1/2 cups sauce into an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. Place about 1/4 cup chicken mixture off-center on each tortilla; top with 1-2 tablespoons cheese. Roll up and place over sauce, seam side down. Top with remaining sauce.
Bake, covered, until heated through, 30-35 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes longer. Serve with toppings as desired.
