1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small sauce pan, combine tomato sauce, water, cumin, cinnamon, and cayenne. Bring mixture to a boil. Simmer gently 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper, jalapeño pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently until wilted, 8-10 minutes. Add zucchini and salt. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer until zucchini is soft. Remove from heat, add chicken and cilantro.
3
Divide tortillas into two stacks, six tortillas each. Wrap each stack in foil, sealing tightly. Place in oven. Warm, until soft, 10-12 minutes (if over steamed they will become too soft to work with). Remove, and open packets.
4
Spread 1/2 cup sauce on bottom of a 10" by 15" baking pan. On each tortilla, distribute filling evenly and roll tightly, jelly-roll style. Arrange in pan, seam side down. Cover with remaining sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and bake until just heated through, 10-15 minutes. Serve promptly, with sour cream if desired.
