[net.cooks] Sauce for Tamales or Enchiladas

emmyl@azure.UUCP (Emmy Lou Roe) (10/18/84)

This is a very good sauce, easy to make, and much better
than anything I've tried that comes in a can.  You can use
it for tamales, enchiladas or as a base for chili con carne.

This makes a little over a quart.

3 T     chili powder
2-1/2 T paprika
1/2 t.  cumin
1/4 t.  ground cloves
1/2 t.  MSG
1/2 t.  garlic powder
1 t.    salt
2 C     water
1 can   beef consume
4 T     flour
        olive oil to make a roux

Combine all ingredients except flour and oil and heat to
dissolve.  Add roux of olive oil and flour and cook
several minutes, stirring constantly.
