Instructions
- Start by heating oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Then, add flour and chili powder, and stir together. Instantly reduce heat to medium, and cook the flour-chili blend until lightly brown, stirring constantly to prevent from burning. It only takes about 1 minute to cook it.
- Gradually stir in: tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken broth, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, and vinegar into the flour and chili powder mix until smooth.
- Continue cooking over medium heat for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until thickened slightly. If the sauce is too thick, add more water or broth, a little at a time.
- Season to taste with salt.
- The recipe makes about 3 1/2 to 4 cups of sauce, depends how thick you like it. Let the sauce fully cool before refrigerating or freezing.
