Tex-Mex Chili Gravy

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients:

  • 13 g oil or lard
  • 18 g flour
  • ½ Tbsp beef bouillon
  • 1½ Tbsp House Chili Powder
    • 1 Tbsp House Mix
    • 1 tsp Ground Comino
    • ¼ tsp Mexican Oregano
    • ⅛ tsp Pepper Blend
    • ⅛ tsp Black Pepper
  • ¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 8 oz of unsalted beef stock

Directions:

  • Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the flour to make a roux.
  • When the flour has taken on a little color, whisk in the bouillon(, salt), House Chili Powder.
  • Continue whisking and slowly add the stock in a steady stream to prevent clumping.
  • Continue whisking until it reaches a rolling boil.
  • Remove from the heat and serve.

Note:

  • This is a good example of playing with the seasonings in the basic Box Stock Gravy recipe.
  • This is what is served over enchiladas and sloppy burritos in the little hole-in-the-wall Tex-Mex restaurants.
