Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F and roast tomatillos, jalapeños, garlic, and one onion on an oiled baking sheet for 15 minutes.
Blend the roasted vegetables with sugar, three-quarter teaspoon salt, and one-quarter teaspoon cumin until smooth.
Season the chicken with cumin, smoked paprika, and salt, then cook it in an oiled skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until it reaches 165 F.
Shred the chicken and mix it with the second onion, cilantro, and 8 ounces of cheddar.
Warm the tortillas in oil, fill them with the chicken mixture, and place them seam-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with some sauce underneath.
Cover the tortillas with the remaining sauce, 3 ounces cheddar, smoked paprika, and cilantro, then bake at 375 F for 20 minutes.
