When Making this I would put the olives on the side so those that do not like Olives like me could have the dish without the olives.

About 14 years ago my husband and I discovered a recipe for beef and Salsa burritos. I always tweak a recipe to mine and my husbands taste. One day when I did not have enough ground beef I decided that I would try it with half ground beef and half sausage. It turned out to be a good idea as it is one of my hubby’s favorite dishes. Below is my version.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb hot sausage
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 10-oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, well-drained
1 cup prepared chunky salsa
3/4 cup shredded Mexican four cheese blend
8 medium flour tortillas,warmed
Directions:
In a large non-stick skillet, brown ground beef and sausage over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings. Season beef with chili powder,and cumin, Stir in spinach and salsa; heat through. Remove from heat; stir in cheese.
To serve, spoon 1/2 cup beef mixture in center of each tortilla. Fold bottom edge up over filling; fold sides to center, overlapping edges.
Makes 8 burritos.
