Directions
1
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
2
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When a pinch of flour sizzles, add the spice/flour mixture.
3
Whisk constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add the tomato paste and whisk until fully combined. The mixture will become thick, that’s normal.
5
Slowly whisk in the broth, a little at a time, until smooth.
6
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, whisking often, until thickened.
7
Remove from heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
