    1/2 stick margarine or butter (1/4 cup)
    1/2 c. chili powder
    1/3 c. flour
    1/2 tsp. garlic salt
    1/4 tsp. ground cumin
    1/4 tsp. crushed oregano
    3 cans (15 oz. ea.) chicken broth
    1 can (12 oz.) tomato sauce

    Melt margarine in saucepan. In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients.
    Slowly add dry ingredients to margarine, stirring constantly.
    Mixture will become crumbly. Slowly add chicken broth to margarine
    mixture, stirring constantly. Stir into tomato sauce.

    Foil Handles: tear off three 18 x 2 inch strips of heavy foil or
    use regular foil folded to double thickness. Crisscross the foil
    strips in a spoke design and place in Crock-Pot to make lifting of
    tortilla stack easier.
