Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups unsalted beef broth
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from chipotles in adobo
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 4 slices (3 ounces) American cheese
Instructions
- Place a skillet over medium heat, and add the butter. As soon as it has melted, sprinkle over the flour. Whisk until a paste has formed and stir for 1-2 minutes more.
- Begin adding the beef broth a splash at a time, whisking well after each addition, until it resembles a pudding-like consistency. Once this consistency has been achieved, begin streaming in the broth, whisking all the while. Allow the mixture to simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the adobo sauce, taco seasoning and American cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and remove from the heat.
- Top your tamales with the Tex-Mex Tamale Sauce, serve and enjoy.
