Ingredients
- 0.25 cups Lard or vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Beef broth
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, heat the lard or vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour to the saucepan and whisk constantly to create a smooth roux. Continue whisking for about 2-3 minutes, or until the roux is a light golden brown color.
Step 3
Stir in the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook the spices in the roux for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the chili gravy warm over enchiladas, burritos, or as a base for other Tex-Mex dishes.
