Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Instructions

  • Create the flavor base (the roux): In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Sprinkle in the gluten-free flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute.
  • Bloom the spices: Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano to the pan. Keep whisking for another 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the wet ingredients: Slowly pour in the tomato sauce and broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
  • Simmer to perfection: Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it gently bubble for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Taste and season: Turn off the heat, taste the sauce, and add more salt if needed.
