Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter, cubed
- 1/3 cup flour

- 3 Tbs. chili powder
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 lb. ground beef (I used ground turkey)
- 1 lb. bulk pork sausage (I recommend spicy)
- 1 onion, chopped

- 8-10 flour tortillas (8-inch), warmed
- 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Preparation
Step 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 and 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 refried beans; heat through.
Spread 1/4 cup sauce in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread 1 tablespoon sauce over each tortilla; place 2/3 cup meat mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Place seam side down in prepared dish. Pour remaining sauce over the top; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake uncovered at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Serve with optional toppings if desired. Makes 8 servings. Enjoy!
