Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon oregano dried
  • ½ teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup tomato sauce canned
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a pot or a large pan.
  2. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook until the mix is completely smooth and starts to bubble.
  3. Whisk in chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin and ancho chili powder. Cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  4. Stir in chicken broth and tomato sauce. Cook, whisking continuously, until starting to thicken (1 to 3 minutes).
  5. Take off the heat, then stir in cream, followed by lime juice.
  6. If not using immediately, store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge. Consume within 3 days.

Notes

  • *You can use mild, medium or hot chili powder, depending on how spicy you would like the sauce to be.
  • **I prefer Mexican oregano but you can use any variety of oregano you have available.
