Step 2To make chili sauce mixture - Mix chili powder and flour, add water, as for gravy. Use 1/2 of large jar of chili powder at a time. Makes enough for a regular fry pan about full. (Consistency of gravy.) [You will need to make up another skillet full for the full three dozen tortillas.]Fry tortillas quickly in hot grease, on both sides. Do not get them too hard. Drain on paper towels. Kind of flip flop in hot grease.

Then fill with meat mixture in the center & roll up and put in foil lined 13 x 9" pan. When bottom of pan is full, put a sheet of foil on top of them and start another row. Heat in oven on low, 250 degrees for 20 minutes to heat through.
