Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small skillet, combine the chicken strips with one quarter of the chicken broth and half the salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the center is opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, whisk the remaining broth, tomato paste, flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, and remaining salt in a small saucepan until no lumps remain. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl and shred with two forks. Mix in 2 tablespoons of the homemade sauce and a spoonful of the hot poaching liquid from the skillet. Pour any remaining poaching liquid from the skillet into the saucepan with the sauce.
Grease a small baking dish with the oil. Soften the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds. Keep them wrapped until each is filled. Lay out a tortilla, fill with a portion of chicken, and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat for all tortillas.
Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas to cover them well. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes more until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Done when cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Remove the hot enchiladas from the oven and garnish with the chopped cilantro.
