1 t. salt

1 t. garlic powder

½ t. ground cumin

¼ t. rubbed sage

SAUCE

4 – 6 garlic cloves, minced

In a saucepan over medium heat, cook beef and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain.  Add flour and seasonings; mix well. Stir in tomatoes; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, sauté garlic in butter until tender.  Stir in flour flour until blended.  Gradually stir in broth; bring to a boil.  Cook and stir for 2 minute or until bubbly.  Stir in tomato sauce and seasonings; heat through.  Pour about 1 ½ cups sauce into an ungreased 13in x 9 in x 2 in baking dish.  Spread about ¼ cup beef mixture down the center of each tortilla; top with 1- 2 T. cheese.  Roll up tightly; place seam side down over sauce.  Top with the remaining sauce. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10-15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
