***I will probably use all ground beef and less cheese than the recipe calls for.*** Recipe is easily halved!

  • 1/4 cup butter (cubed)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 8 flour tortillas (8 inches, warmed)
  • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Optional toppings: Shredded lettuce chopped tomatoes, sliced ripe olives and sour cream
  1. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in chili powder and garlic salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, sausage and onion until meat is no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles; drain.
