Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 4 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)

Instruction

  • Before you get started, combine all the seasonings--chili powder through oregano--in a small bowl or prep dish. (The sauce comes together quickly and you'll want to have the spices all ready to go.)
  • Warm oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, then whisk in the flour until smooth and thick, approximately 1 minute.
  • Stir in the seasonings, then gradually whisk in chicken broth. Allow to bubble, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the sauce is a deep red and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Use immediately, refrigerate for 3-4 days, or freeze for 3-4 months!
