Ingredients

1 tbsp of canola oil

half a large onion, diced

3 chopped garlic cloves

1/3 cup of flour

2 tbsp of ground cumin

1 tbsp onion powder

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp salt (can be adjusted to taste)

2 cups chicken broth

2 cups of canned green chiles (may be called chillis in some markets)

Directions

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.
Makes 8 servings of slightly less than 1/2 cup.
