¼ cup chili powder
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
10 oz tomato paste

In a medium sauce pan heat the oil, add flour and stir with a wooden spoon to smooth. Cook 1 minute. Add chili powder, cook and stir 30 seconds. Add stock, tomato paste, oregano, cumin, salt, cinnamon and garlic powder. Stir to combine, bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
