Preparation / Directions:In a large saucepan place the oil and heat it on medium until it is hot. Add the chile powder, 1 tablespoon at a time, while whisking constantly, until all of the chile powder is dissolved and a paste is formed. Add water as needed to maintain a pasty consistency.
Add the flour and whisk it for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the entire mixture thickens. Add the water, salt, and garlic, and whisk them in. Simmer the sauce for 1 hour. Stir occasionally so that it doesn't cake on the bottom of the pan.
Notes: This recipe is from Maria's New Mexican Kitchen in Santa Fe which is typical of an old Mexican style cantina. Maria's is a rambling adobe building, complete with a view of fresh tortillas being made in the main dining room. They specialize in fajitas and northern New Mexican food, and you can be assured that anything you order will be completely auth
