List of Ingredients

10 (12 inch) flour tortillas
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. cumin
2 tbsp. chopped green chilies
1/2 tbsp. chili powder
1 can refried beans
1 cup grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (or a mixture of both)
Oil
Sour Cream
Guacamole
Taco Sauce


Recipe

Brown the ground beef, drain, and add other ingredients. Mix well. Wrap tortillas in foil, heat in 325 degree oven for 10 minutes. Spoon 1/2 cup meat mixture in each, near one edge. Fold edge nearest the filling up and over filling, just until mixture is covered. Fold in the 2 sides envelope fashion, then roll up. Fasten with toothpicks.

In heavy skillet, fry tortillas in 1/2 cup oil until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm in 200 degree oven as you fry the rest. Garnish with guacamole, sour cream and taco sauce.
