2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1½ cups water
½ teaspoon cumin
salt to taste (about ½ teaspoon)
cayenne pepper to taste (if desired”¦I left it out last night for the girls, but we agreed this sauce would be SO good all hot and spicy!)
Instructions
Heat about 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Sautee onions until translucent. Add the rest of the oil, garlic, flour and chili powder. Stir constantly and cook for 3-5 minutes over medium heat. Add tomato sauce, water, cumin. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and cayenne pepper (if using).
