Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.
Melt butter in a small sauce pan, then whisk the flour in gradually. Once you have a thick butter/flour mixture, slowly whisk in the milk to create a thick white sauce. Whisk in 1 cup cheddar cheese. Season with the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, cilantro, and salt and pepper.
In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil, then add onions and peppers. Sautee until soft, then add shrimp/chicken, cooking until the meat is cooked through.
Add the cheese sauce to the pan with the peppers, onions and meat and stir. Spoon the cheese and meat mixture into the tortillas, about 2 or 3 tablespoons, then roll the tortilla and place in a greased baking dish, seam side down. After all the tortillas are filled and placed in the dish, cover with the tomato sauce, remaining cheese/meat sauce, the remaining 1/2 c cheese, and sprinkle with cilantro.
Bake for 25 minutes at 350.
