Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with half of the cumin, chili powder, and salsa.
Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a casserole pan.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter and stir in flour for about a minute.
Gradually add chicken broth while stirring until thickened (about 6 minutes).
