Enchilada Mexican homemade Sauces

Instructions

1 Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2 Whisk in the plain flour.
3 Allow the flour-oil mixture to darken slightly until it is slightly golden. You
can cook until it's chocolate-brown if you desire.
4 Whisk in the seasonings, mixing until completely combined.
5 Slowly whisk in the chicken broth into the roux. Do this slowly, as it will
allow the roux to be completely incorporated into the liquid.
6 Increase heat to medium-high until the sauce comes to a boil.
7 Once the roux has come to the boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer,
whisking occasionally, for 5-10 minutes until enchilada sauce is near your
desired thickness.
8 Turn off heat and remove saucepan from heat.
9 The sauce will still thicken slightly as it cools.
