Ingredients
  • ¼ cup lard or vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black
  • pepper
  • 1 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 cups beef broth, chicken broth, or water
  • To make the gravy, heat the lard or oil in a pot over medium-high heat.  Whisk in the flour and stir until it's lightly browned and fragrant,  about 30 seconds to a minute.
  • Whisk in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and  pepper until well combined. Pour in the broth, then whisk with the flour  until well blended. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about  3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Turn the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 15 minutes. Add more broth or water to thin the sauce if it's too thick.
  • Be sure not to burn the roux or the spices or it will be bitter!
  • You can also add ground beef to it to make it a chili con Carne topping.
  • This is what is served at many tex mex restaurants here in Texas and I'm sure other places too!
