saucepan over medium high heat until shimmering. Add
onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and
lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, chili
powder, coriander, cumin, salt, and sugar and cook,
stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add
chicken and cook, stirring constantly until coated with
spices, about 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce and water
bring to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until
chicken is cooked through and flavors ave melded, about
8 minutes. Stain mixture through fine mesh strainer into
bowl, pressing on chicken and onion to extract as much
sauce as possible; set sauce aside. Transfer chicken
mixture to plate; place in refrigerator for 20 minutes to
cool, then combine with cilantro, jalapeņos, and cheese in
bowl and set aside.
TO ASSEMBLE: Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 9 by 13
baking pan, making sure the sauce is evenly coving the
bottom of the pan. You can heat the tortillas in a dry
frying pan or lightly spray oil if they seem too stiff. Place
the tortilla on a cutting board and put 1/3 cup of the
filling in the middle. folding the tortilla in half, then pull
the overlapping top of the tortilla until it's snug against
the filling; continue rolling the tortilla. Place it in the pan.
When the pan is full pour the remaining sauce on top of
the tortillas, sprinkle with cheese. Bake in 350 F for 25
minutes.
