Enchilada Sauce

Ingredients

• avocado oil or olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• all-purpose flour (2 tablespoons)
• chili powder (1/4 cup)
• garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon)
• ground cumin (1/2 teaspoon)
• chicken or vegetable stock (2 cups)

Instructions

1. Cook the roux and spices: In a small saucepan, we’ll first cook the flour and oil together to form the roux, and then whisk in the spices to briefly toast them in the saucepan before adding in the stock.
2. Simmer: Gradually add in the stock while whisking the sauce, in order to blend in any lumps. Then bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook (you want to maintain a low bubble) for 10-15 minutes, or until it has reduced to your desired thickness.
3. Season: Season with salt (or any extra seasonings that you might like to add) to taste.
