• 1/4 cup flour

• 1 tablespoon chili powder

• 1 tablespoon cumin

• 1 teaspoon allspice

• 2 garlic cloves, grated

• 1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped

• 1/4 cup tomato paste

• 2 cups chicken stock

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.

3. Mix together the flour, chili powder, cumin, and salt. When the oil is warm whisk in the spice mixture stirring well. Add the garlic, chipotles and tomato paste. Cook for about 1 minute then whisk in the chicken broth.

4. Simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes until it has slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and add the vinegar.
