2 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup diced roasted red bell pepper
2 (3-ounce) packages cream cheese, cubed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 (4.5-ounce) cans diced green chiles
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 (14 1/2-ounce) can chicken broth
1/2 cup salsa
10 (7-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often; add sliced onions, and cook 20 minutes or until caramelized. Reduce heat to low, and add chopped chicken and next 4 ingredients, stirring until combined. Set aside.
2

Pulse chiles and next 5 ingredients in blender or food processor several times until combined.
3

Bring chile mixture and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat; cook 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. (Mixture should be the consistency of a thin gravy.) Remove from heat, and stir in salsa.
4

Spread one third chile mixture evenly on bottom of a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
5

Spoon chicken mixture evenly down center of each tortilla; roll up, and place, seam side down, in prepared baking dish. Top with remaining chile mixture; sprinkle with cheese.
6

Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly.

Note: Freeze chile mixture and filled tortillas separately up to 1 month, if desired. Thaw in refrigerator overnight. Prepare and bake as directed.
