1/2 cup lard -- vegetable shortening or vegetable oil
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 1/3 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup chili powder
1 1/2 quarts water or chicken broth
In large skillet, heat lard to medium hot. Stir in flour and continue stirring until it turns a very light brown. This will take 3-4 minutes. Add all the dry ingredients and continue to cook for 1 minute, constantly stirring and blending ingredients. Add water or broth, mixing and stirring until the sauce thickens. Turn heat to low and let sauce simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Add more water to adjust the thickness to your preference. Makes about 12 cups.
