Quick tip: While the sauce cooks, shred the chicken. For a spicy kick, top with chopped jalapeños.

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (15-ounce) can unsalted tomato sauce
3 cups shredded skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast (about 15 ounces)

Preheat broiler to high.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
