This dish fits my life style perfectly --
it's healthy and quick. It can be prepared in a conventional oven, but microwaving saves time. --
Sabina Larkin, South Setauket, New York Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium nonstick skillet; cook over medium heat until chicken is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain in a colander, and set aside. Place flour in skillet. Gradually add milk, stirring with a wire whisk until blended. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and simmer 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in chicken mixture, jalapeno pepper, and cumin. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave at HIGH 15 seconds or until softened. Place 1 tortilla in bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Spread 3/4 cup chicken mixture over tortilla. Spoon 1 cup tomato on top of chicken mixture, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese. Cover dish with heavy-duty plastic wrap, and vent. Microwave at MEDIUM-HIGH (70% power) for 6 minutes, rotating dish a half-turn after 3 minutes. Let stand, covered, 2 minutes. Cut into 6 wedges, and top each wedge with 1 tablespoon of picante sauce. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
