  4. While whisking continuously, slowly add the vegetable broth. Continue stirring to incorporate all spices and flour for about 3-4 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.

Recipe Notes

If you are making this sauce to use with these enchiladas, once you finish with the large skillet after making the sauce, pour the sauce into a wide shallow bowl and set aside for later. Do not wash the skillet, but instead use the layer of remaining sauce in the pan to start cooking the filling.
