Steps:

Filling:.
In a saute pan over medium heat, saute diced onion in oil until tender and slightly colored -- 4-6 minutes.
Season with coriander, cumin, hot sauce and S&P.
Let onion mix cool to room temperature, and hold to fill enchiladas.
Combine all the cheese except 2 oz each of the jack and cheddar with the onion mixture, fold together well.
Slightly warm the tortillas in a warm saute pan to make them flexible, and put about 2/3 cup of the cheese mix on each tortilla and roll them up.
Place the rolled tortillas in a lightly oiled casserole dish in a single layer.
Sauce:.
In a 2 quart sauce pot over medium heat, cook onions in oil until tender -- 3-5 minutes.
Add diced jalapeno and garlic and cook 2 minutes more.
Add tomatotes, stock and all seasonings; let simmer 15 minutes.
Puree and strain the sauce and hold for service.
To assemble the dish:.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Ladle sauce over the enchiladas in the casserole dish, top with the remaining cheese.
Bake covered for 15-20 minutes, until hot thoughout and cheese is well-melted.
Serve hot.
