Ingredients

• 8 ounces Hatch green chiles (roasted, peeled, and chopped)
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Oregano (preferably Mexican oregano)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. This will help thicken the sauce.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the chicken stock while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the chopped Hatch green chiles, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice for a bright, fresh finish.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 10

Serve the sauce warm over enchiladas, burritos, or as a dip for chips. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
