Directions:
Brown the ground meat in the oil with the onion and garlic. Once almost done add ½ tsp chili powder, salt, pepper, green chilis, 1 tsp garlic powder. Remove the meat from the pan and place in a bowl, leaving about a tblsp of meat and the grease in the pan.
Sauce:
Add the 1 tbsp of flour, salt, pepper, 1 tsp chili powder and tsp. of garlic powder. Brown for a second and add the 1 ½ cups of water. Let boil, add the chicken base, ½ can of red or green enchilada sauce, sour cream of heavy cream, and seasonings. (You can adjust the water, you don't want your sauce really thick because it will also thicken up once you pour over the tortillas.

Prepare the tortillas by frying them until a little soft and the skin bubbles.

Cut the velveeta cheese in about a ¼ slice, place in the tortilla, add meat mixture and a spoonful of sauce, roll up, you can add chopped raw onion if you like. Continue until meat is gone. Pour the sauce over the rolled enchiladas and top with the colby monterey jack cheese. Bake on 350º until cheese is melted and enchiladas are bubbly.
