This was very, very good!And just what I was looking for.I simmered it about 1 1/2 hrs, and it didn't need the flour to thicken it,as we liked it with the thinner sauce.I just chopped the onion, instead of grating it though, and used a bit more cumin, also added some salt. Served it with homemade refried beans, spanish rice(pkg), flour tortillas, sliced avacado, cheddar and sour cream for condiments on the side.Thanks for the recipe Cluich.I'm pretty picky, but I'd make this again.It was delish!!!
