For sauce, in the same saucepan melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Stir in flour, cumin, and salt. Stir in chicken broth and enchilada sauce all at once; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes more. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup of cheese. Stir 1/2 cup of this sauce into chicken mixture. Dip each tortilla into remaining sauce to soften; fill each with about 1/4 cup of chicken. Roll up and arrange in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish; pour remaining sauce over. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake covered in a 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes or until bubbly.
