Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups Lard or vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Beef broth
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the lard or vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan and whisk constantly to create a smooth roux. Continue whisking for about 2-3 minutes, or until the roux is a light golden brown color.
Stir in the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook the spices in the roux for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the chili gravy warm over enchiladas, burritos, or as a base for other Tex-Mex dishes.
