Ingredients
- 4 heaping tablespoons vegetable shortening
- 4 heaping tablespoons flour
- 4 heaping tablespoons red chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder or garlic salt
- 4 cups cold water
- 1-cup fresh diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced green chilies
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1/4-cup onion chopped
- 11/2 cups green chile hot sauce
- 1 cup refried beans
- Salt, to taste
- 8 white flour tortillas
- 1 pound cheddar, shredded
- 1/2 head lettuce, chopped
Directions
Preheat oven 350 degrees-F.
Melt shortening in skillet. Add flour and brown lightly to make a roux. Add red chili powder, garlic powder, and cold water. Simmer slowly until gravy thickens. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, crush tomatoes. Add chilies and minced onion and blend well.
Brown sausage, ground chuck and chopped onion in skillet. Drain excess grease. Add green chile sauce, refried beans and salt, to taste. Turn heat to low and simmer until warm. Prepare a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and place a couple of tablespoons of enchilada gravy on the bottom to prevent the food from sticking. Dip each tortilla in the gravy and lay flat in the baking dish. Spread meat filling across the center of the tortillas, top with shredded cheese and lettuce. Roll up the tortilla and when finished, pour leftover gravy over the tortillas. Sprinkle with more cheese. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve hot.

Being from Texas, we eat A LOT of mexican food. The recipe sounded interesting, so I gave it a shot. I will NEVER make the recipe again. The flavor balance was all wrong and the sausage in the meat mixture just did not take right (or authentic. THe only reason I gave it two stars instead of one was because my husbanda yankee thought is was OK. I think he was trying to spare my feelings ; There are MUCH better mexican recipes out there....believe me!
