Start by heating canola oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the onion chopped garlic cloves. When the onion starts to become translucent, add the flour, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, salt . Cook until the flour has browned. Add chicken broth, and whisk to mix in the flour. Bring to a boil, and then add the canned green chiles. Stir and allow to simmer until thick. Test thickness by dipping a spoon in the sauce, and then running your finger across it. If the sauce leaves a clear line where you wiped, the sauce is ready.
Can be poured over almost any Mexican dish, but is really good over a tortilla and cheese, or with tortilla chips when warm.

Samstark is confused. This is exactly how we make our New Mexico green chile sauce. The only exception is we use our own frozen roasted green chile instead of canned. We eat it over eggs almost every day. - 3/19/16

Very good green chile! I added some chunk pork to make it a full dinner instead of side dish. I order a bowl of chile with a tortilla when I go for lunch. (I'm from Southern Colorado almost New Mexico ha ) - 1/23/09

Tasty and easy. Add the tomatillos, too if you like. Green chile recipes vary greatly and no one has the market cornered. - 8/6/07

Green Sauce is made from tomatillos not green chilis. I would suggesrt not using this recipe to make green sauce. Email me for the "real" green sauce recipe. - 8/1/07

So you are the only one who knows how to make green sauce? Ever think about how the recipe changes depending on where you are? There is a reason this is called "New Mexico" green sauce - because that is how we do it there, at least in the south.
