Ingredients

1/4 cup lard, vegetable shortening, or vegetable oil

1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. salt

1-1/2 tsp. granulated garlic

2 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. dried oregano

2 Tbsp. chili powder (I use dried ancho chiles instead)

3 cups water or chicken broth

Directions

In a large skillet, heat the lard to medium hot. Stir in the flour and continue stirring until it turns a very light brown. This will take about 3-4 minutes.

Add all of the dry ingredients and continue to cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly and blending the ingredients. Add the water or broth, mixing and stirring until the sauce thickens, approximately 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.

Turn the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add more water if needed to adjust the thickness to your preference.

This keeps a week to 10 days in the refrigerator in an air-tight container; it also keeps well in the freezer.
