Consider this dish a Southwestern spin on a Sloppy Joe. It's just as easy to make, especially if you buy commercially prepared salsa, refried beans and, of course, the soft flour tortillas.

Use the Mexican variety of hot chorizo, which, unlike Spanish varieties, must be cooked. To crumble the sausage, cut down the casing with a sharp knife and use your fingers to pull out the meat. You can find chorizo at supermarkets and ethnic food stores.

Beverage pairing

Cold Mexican beer always hits the spot, or consider a California Zinfandel. Iced tea and Mexican soda are good non-alcoholic options.
