1 1/2 lb. Monterey Jack (shredded)
2 lg. can tomato paste
1/2 tsp.. cumin
1 tbsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder

Brown ground beef with onion and drain off grease. In a 3 quart pot, dilute tomato paste with about 2 quarts of water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add spices and sugar and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add more water if needed and sugar if taste is too acidic.

Add about 1 cup of sauce to beef just to give it some body. Place a thin film of sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Put some meat and cheese on a tortilla, roll up and place in a baking dish, seam down. Cover lightly with remaining sauce and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
