How to Make Burrito Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring no lumps form. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Stir in 1 (24-ounce) jar of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to your spice preference).
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Spoon generously over your favorite burritos and enjoy!
