This recipe is commliments of Mandy over at www.mandysrecipebox.blogspot.com. She’s got a pretty amazing selection over their, seems like she is celebrating Cinco De Mayo too!! Thanks for a great recipe Mandy!! Pics to follow!

Ingredients:

1/4 c. butter

1/4 c. flour

4 c. water

3 Tbsp. chili powder

1 tsp. garlic salt

1 lb. ground beef

1 lb. ground sausage (I used a bacon flavored kind once and it was fabulous)

1/4 c. chopped onion

1 c. refried beans

8 flour tortillas (8 inch), warmed

3 c. shredded cheese (monteray jack or cheddar works great)

Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced olives, sour cream

In a large saucepan, melt butter. I normally would use Promise Light for my butter but I didn’t have enough!

Stir in flour until smooth.

Gradually add water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir one minute or until thickened.

Stir in chili powder and garlic salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, sausage, and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain.

Stir in beans; heat through.

Spread 1/4 c. sauce in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Spread 1 Tbsp. sauce in the center of a tortilla and spread around. Place 2/3 c. (use measuring cup for this and it comes out perfect) meat mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with 1/4 c. shredded cheese. (I didn’t top with cheese because I was trying to keep it healthier and knowing their would be cheese on top was hopefully going to be enough!
