For the Sauce:

For your meat mixture:
While the sauce is simmering, fry up a pound of hamburger, onion, and a pinch of garlic and onion powder. Now grate 1 lb. Monterey Jack or a mild cheddar cheese. Set aside. These will be used between the layers of your enchilada. Fry your tortillas in another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Preheat oven to 350 (175 Fahrenheit). Spoon some meat mixture & cheese into center of each tortilla. Then roll up and put in a 9 X 13 baking dish or pan. Pour sauce over tortillas and top with cheese and any remaining meat mixture. Put in oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
