Instructions

In a small bowl, combine flour, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. (Or other spices of choice.)
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil.
Once oil is hot, carefully add tomato paste and the bowl of flour/spices.
Cook for 1 minute, whisking continuously. (It will form a very thick mixture - just go with it!)
Slowly whisk in broth. Then increase heat and bring to a light boil.
Once lightly boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Let sauce lightly simmer for about 8 minutes (or until thickened) whisking occasionally to break up clumps.
Salt/pepper to taste.

Notes

Variations: Add smoked paprika or a touch of chipotle powder to give it a wonderful, smoky kick.
