Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture to the hot oil and whisk continuously until smooth. Stir in the tomato paste and whisk for an additional minute.
