Preheat oven to 425 degrees and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the onion and garlic and cooking until they start to soften and turn translucent. Add the cumin, paprika, and salt and stir to combine, cooking 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the chicken and cilantro and set aside.
Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a skillet. When the broth simmers, dip the tortillas briefly, one at a time, just to soften, 1 to 2 seconds.
Lay the tortillas on a work surface and add 1 tablespoon cheese to the bottom third of the tortilla. Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and roll up. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and brush lightly with the oil and bake until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, hot sauce or any other topping of your choice.
