1. Preheat oven to 350F. Chop jalapeno pepper and remove seeds (wash hands immediately; keep hands away from eyes when handling jalapeno seeds).
2. In a skillet, saute onion in oil until translucent; stir in garlic, tomato sauce, salt, sugar, shredded chicken and peppers. Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
3. Heat heavy cream in a large saucepan; add bouillion cubes and dissolve, then set aside.
4. In a small skillet, add 1/3 cup oil and heat, then dip each tortilla in hot oil, turning once, for a few seconds (tortillas should soften). Remove to paper towels to drain.
