    1/3 cup flour
    1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon crushed oregano
    1/2 stick (1/4 cup) margarine or butter, melted
    3 cans (15 ounces each) chicken broth
    1 (12 ounce) can tomato sauce

    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 in tomato sauce.

    *TO MAKE FOIL HANDLES:
    Tear off three 18x2-inch strips of heavy foil or use regular foil folded to double thickness. Crisscross the foil strips in a spoke design and place in crockpot to make lifting of tortilla stack easier.
