Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the cumin and chili powder.

Throw the onions into the same skillet and stir them around to cook for 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes, until deep golden brown and caramelized. Remove them from the pan and set them aside on a plate. Pour in the enchilada sauce and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to warm through.

Pour 2 cups of sauce into a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. To assemble the enchiladas, dip a tortilla into the sauce then lay it on a sheet pan or plate. Sprinkle some cheese down the middle, followed by some chicken, and finally, some of the caramelized onions. Roll it up tightly, then place it, seam-side down, in the pan. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
