I took a few recipes and combined and tweaked them to come up with this. I love it, perfect over my Favorite Chicken Enchilada recipe :) I double it to cover 2 9x13 casseroles. Add more chicken broth if you need to thin it out more.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup mexican chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup tomato sauce
salt
1/4-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions:
1. heat oil in medium saucepan.
2. whisk in flour until smooth.
3. stir in spices, cook 1 minute.
4. whisk in broth until smooth.
5. add the tomato sauce, and salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
6. bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes.
7. this is wonderful made a day ahead, the flavors combine even more.
